Al Ain: Desert winds have shot the mercury further up across the emirates with dusty and hazy conditions in some cities. It is expected continue for a couple of more days, according to the weathermen.
The daytime hot and dusty conditions have been testing peoples’ nerves for the last few days. The UAE weather conditions are currently under the influence of steaming hot south-easterly winds coming in from the Rub’ Al Khali – the Empty Quarter.
Forecasters at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said the wind speed has slightly decreased and is expected to remain between eight to 15 knots in general. “It can still kick up dust and sand in some places, particularly the open areas,” they said.
Hot and hazy weather, in general, will continue during the daytime with some clouds appearing over mountains and eastern areas by afternoon, said the NCMS forecast. It said conditions will be mild at night.
The NCMS recorded a maximum temperature of 43 degree Celsius in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Liwa. It was just degree less in Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman.
