UAE weather: Partly cloudy conditions with dust and fresh winds to persist into early next week

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast partly cloudy to cloudy skies across the UAE today, with a chance of light rainfall over islands and some coastal and eastern areas, alongside a further drop in temperatures.

Winds are expected to be light to moderate, freshening at times and causing blowing dust, under the influence of weak surface pressure systems and an extension of a weak upper-level low-pressure system.
