Wind to kick up dust in UAE

Wind stirring up dust is likely to sweep through the country from Saturday noon as another surface low pressure has developed over northern Saudi Arabia. The development will push in warm southern winds in to the emirates, kicking up dust and sands especially in the western region, said a weather alert from the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS). The temperature will also go up and visibility in the internal and open areas is likely to be affected at around noon time on Saturday. "This southern fresh wind is later expected to be followed by relatively cold, fresh, and strong northerly wind," said the weather bureau. The NCMS advises motorists to take precaution on roads due to the expected bad  visibility. People have also been asked to avoid exposure to dust, particularly those who suffers of asthma. The centre also warned people to stay away from sea on Saturday until Sunday as the high wave would rise in the Arabian Gulf waters. "It is advised to check the sea state on Monday before willing to ride the sea," according to the weather alert.
