Today's forecast predicts a partly cloudy sky with suspended dust, particularly affecting coastal and western regions. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has warned that these dusty conditions may diminish horizontal visibility. The dust originates from the north of the Arabian Gulf and the west. Humidity is expected to increase during the night and early Monday morning in certain coastal areas, potentially reaching 85 percent on the coasts and islands, and dropping to as low as 10 percent in inland areas. Light to moderate winds are anticipated, strengthening at times throughout the day, blowing in a southeasterly to northwesterly direction at speeds up to 30kmph. The seas in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to be calm. Temperatures may soar to 45℃ in Dubai and 47℃ in Abu Dhabi, with dust clouds visible in both locations.
