UAE Rain Update: Residents across the UAE should brace for fluctuating weather conditions today, with a chance of rainfall in some areas and a significant drop in temperatures, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
Dusty Conditions and Strong Winds
The NCM has issued orange and yellow alerts for blowing dust in several parts of the country on Tuesday. Fresh to strong winds, reaching speeds of up to 55 km/h, are expected to create dusty conditions, significantly reducing horizontal visibility in some coastal and internal areas. The advisory remains in effect from 3:30 AM until 8:00 PM on February 25.
Safety Guidelines for Residents
In response to the expected weather conditions, the authorities have issued safety precautions for residents to follow during sandy and dusty weather:
- Motorists should drive cautiously and adhere to safety regulations to avoid accidents due to poor visibility.
- Ensure all doors and windows are securely closed to prevent dust from entering homes and buildings.
- Avoid direct exposure to dust to prevent respiratory issues, especially for individuals with allergies or asthma.
- Stay updated with official weather forecasts for real-time information and advisories.
Cloudy Skies with Rainfall Chances
The UAE will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies at times, particularly over northern, coastal, and eastern areas. These conditions may lead to scattered rainfall in some regions, adding to the weather’s unpredictability.
Rough Sea Conditions and High Waves
The NCM has also issued red and yellow alerts for rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf. According to the forecast, hazardous weather events of ‘exceptional severity’ are expected in the highlighted areas. Residents and seafarers are urged to exercise extreme caution, as waves could reach dangerous heights.
Stay Informed and Exercise Caution
Authorities advise residents to remain vigilant and follow all issued guidelines to ensure safety during these unpredictable weather conditions.
