Most regions across the nation are forecasted to experience overcast conditions, with denser cloud coverage expected in the eastern areas. In Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra district, residents witnessed a light drizzle during the latter part of the previous night; however, it remains uncertain if today's cloud cover will result in rainfall. Motorists are cautioned to watch for potential dust storms that could reduce visibility, as wind speeds may occasionally reach up to 40kmph, according to the Meteorological Department's predictions. In certain areas of Abu Dhabi, temperatures are anticipated to soar to 48 degrees Celsius, while Dubai is expected to reach 41 degrees Celsius. The Arabian Gulf is likely to see mild to moderate waves, whereas the Sea of Oman will experience gentle waves.
