Conditions will remain unsettled on Thursday, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies and continued chances of light rain. Winds are forecast to strengthen, reaching up to 40 km/h, causing blowing dust and sand and reducing horizontal visibility. Seas in the Arabian Gulf may become moderate to rough at times.

By Friday, conditions will begin to stabilise, though cloud cover may persist in some areas. Winds will ease slightly, with speeds of up to 30 km/h, while seas remain slight to moderate.

Fair to partly cloudy weather is expected over the weekend, with lighter winds and calmer conditions overall. However, seas could turn rough at times in the Arabian Gulf on Sunday.

Daytime temperatures are expected to range between 37°C and 42°C in coastal and internal areas early in the period, before easing slightly towards the weekend.
