Temperatures will vary between 10 – 20 degrees celsius in the coastal areas, between 7 – 21 degrees in the internal areas and 1 -10 degrees in the mountains.

The NCM also predicted that the weather will remain cloudy on Monday, especially in the east and north.

Strong winds will cause blowing dust and reduce the visibility at times in the UAE, the NCM said.

The sea will be very rough in the Arabian Gulf and moderate, becoming rough at times with clouds in Oman Sea, it added.

Temperatures in the country will increase slightly and gradually from Tuesday, with moderate wind speeds, the NCM said.

The UAE is also expected to see increased humidity, which in turn will lead to fog or mist formation.
