According to the National Center for Meteorology (NCM), moderate gusts of wind over parts of the country can cause dust and sand to rise into the air. NCM warns motorists of the need to observe road safety precautions in the UAE in the event of reduced visibility.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that water collection points be avoided, especially in mountainous areas and in valleys.
