ABU DHABI (WAM)

The National Centre of Meteorology has forecast unsettled weather for Monday, with skies remaining partly cloudy to overcast at times.

Residents can expect a noticeable dip in temperatures with light rain anticipated during the morning hours, particularly across the islands and over the coastal and northern areas.

Moderate to fresh north-westerly to south-westerly winds can be expected, which may strengthen at times, reaching speeds of up to 45km/h, which could lead to blowing dust and sand.

Motorists and those with respiratory sensitivities should take necessary precautions due to potentially reduced visibility.

Conditions at sea are expected to be challenging for maritime activities. The Arabian Gulf will be rough, becoming very rough at times.

Water conditions in the Sea of Oman are forecast to remain rough throughout the day.
