The UAE weather will continue to remain dusty and cloudy even as the disruptions caused by sandstorms have ended.
The country may witness light to moderate wind that may blow up dust during day time with speed 15-25 reaching 35 km/hr, according to the UAE’s National Center of Meteorology.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi were blanketed in sand and dust, due to which the visibility fell to 500 metres in some areas.
