emirates7 - The UAE’s National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has released a weather alert for today, Wednesday, warning that brisk southeasterly winds could reach around 40 km/h. These winds are likely to whip up dust and sand, cutting horizontal visibility on some coastal and inland roads to under 2 kilometres.
The warning applies from 8:45 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and comes on the heels of an earlier forecast highlighting unstable conditions—searing temperatures and a chance of convective rain over eastern areas.
Abu Dhabi Police have reminded drivers to be extra vigilant on the roads. “Heavy dust and poor visibility demand lower speeds and full attention,” their statement read, adding that motorists should not use mobile phones or record videos while driving.
Authorities also recommend that residents remain indoors when feasible, secure any loose outdoor items, and follow official channels for real‑time weather updates.
