Strong winds and rough seas forecast for UAE

Motorists and pedestrians in the UAE are being warned of low visibility across several parts due to strong winds kicking up dust clouds.

In an alert, the National Centre for Meteorology (NCM) said wind speeds of 50km/h will reduce visibility to less than 3,000 metres over some eastern areas. 

Forecasters also posted an update on social media, warning of waves of up to two metres in height, expected in parts of the Oman Sea until 6:00 am on Saturday.
