The United Arab Emirates is bracing for dusty conditions due to an increase in wind speeds, which are predicted to reach as high as 40 kilometers per hour.

These gusty winds are expected to lead to reduced visibility, impacting driving conditions across several areas of the country.

The National Center of Meteorology has issued warnings regarding the potential for dust storms and advised residents to take precautions, particularly those with respiratory issues.

UAE meteorological officials indicate that these weather patterns are common during transitional seasons, when temperature fluctuations can lead to increased wind activity.

In urban centers like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, hazy conditions are anticipated, with visibility potentially dropping under 1,000 meters in some areas.

The public has been urged to remain vigilant while traveling and consider the adverse effects of dust exposure, particularly for outdoor activities.
