Wind Warnings and Visibility Shifts on Local Roads
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) issued a weather alert covering the period from 3.45pm to 8pm, urging residents to exercise caution. Fresh to strong winds whipped up around the cloud formations, reaching speeds of up to 45km/h and stirring up blowing dust and sand across exposed stretches.
The unsettled weather is not stopping in Masafi. Convective clouds are building across scattered areas in the northern and eastern parts of the UAE, bringing a genuine chance of further showers and a noticeable drop in temperatures.
Overnight conditions are turning humid, with fog or mist expected to form by Sunday morning across some coastal and inland pockets. More rain chances remain on the radar for the coming days, accompanied by gusty winds that could kick up more dust.
Motorists heading out through the eastern and northern corridors should keep an eye on changing road visibility as the unstable weather pattern continues to move across the country.
