Dusty Skies in Dubai, Cool Morning in Fujairah
This afternoon, the sky was sunny with dust across Dubai because changing weather conditions continued across the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On the other hand, the lowest temperature today was recorded at 23.1°C in Al Heben Mountain, Fujairah, at 6:15 am. So, it reflects the cooler conditions in the Eastern regions of the country.
NCM’s Rainfall Warning for Al Ain
According to the NCM, the convective clouds forming over Al Ain are capable of making sudden showers, gusty winds, and localized dust storms. Therefore, motorists and drivers are requested to drive carefully because the visibility could drop in the affected areas. However, it is important to understand that such weather conditions are normal during this transitional season in the UAE, where desert winds and cloud activity can change instantly.
