Dusty Weather in UAE: What to Expect Today and Tomorrow
People across the UAE should get ready for more dusty weather today and tomorrow. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather alert due to dusty conditions and falling temperatures. If you are planning to go outside, it’s best to stay updated with the latest weather news.
Dusty Winds and Poor Visibility
Today, strong winds are blowing across many parts of the country. These winds are lifting dust and sand, making the air hazy. This dusty weather may reduce visibility, especially in open areas. Drivers should be extra careful while on the road, as low visibility can lead to accidents. It’s also a good idea to keep car windows closed and use headlights during the day.

Temperature to Drop Slightly
Along with the dusty weather, the Met Office has predicted a drop in temperatures. The heat will still be there, but not as high as the past few days. The breeze may bring some relief, but the dust in the air can make it feel dry and uncomfortable.
Advice for People with Allergies or Breathing Issues
People with asthma or breathing problems should avoid going outside during this time. The dust in the air can make breathing harder and may cause coughing or irritation. Wearing a mask when going out can help. Try to stay indoors as much as possible and use air purifiers if available.
Coastal and Inland Areas Affected
The dusty weather is not just in one area. Coastal regions like Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi are all affected. Inland areas are also seeing dusty skies and strong winds. The NCM says the weather will remain the same tomorrow, with similar conditions expected in most parts of the country.
What You Can Do
Stay updated with weather alerts from official sources. Avoid outdoor activities unless necessary. Keep your homes sealed to prevent dust from getting inside. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated during this dry spell.
