Weather Alert: Sandstorm to hit UAE today

The National Center for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has urged the motorists to exercise caution, reduce the speed and leave enough distance between vehicles due to active northwesterly wind that stirs dust on Thursday.

In a statement, the Center said today that the weather will be wet at night on the west coast, especially with gradual decrease in the temperature on the coasts.

It advised those who frequent the sea that the Arabian Gulf will be rough in the evening. The NCMS called on seafarers to follow-up weather forecast news through its website or enquire through the toll-free number.
