The UAE is set to experience another bout of low temperatures, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has said.

“Rather cold during daytimes, dusty and partly cloudy at times over some coastal, Northern and eastern areas, with another significant drop in temperatures,” the NCM stated in its weather bulletin.

“Cold during night with a probability of frost formation over some areas by Saturday morning.”

Fresh winds, strong at times especially over the sea, causing blowing dust and sand over some coastal and internal areas are also expected, which will impede horizontal visibility.

Low visibility over some coastal areas across Al Dhafra region and over Sweihan (Al Ain) was also observed.
