The National Centre of Meteorology, NCM, has warned sea-vessels in the offshore Arabian Gulf of strong north-westerly winds which will continue to affect the sea.

In a statement, the centre said that wave height is expected to be between 8 -10 feet and peaking up to 12 feet until 08:00 tomorrow.

Fresh winds can cause blowing dust/sand leading to poor visibility over some areas. Strong winds will blow over the sea, so residents need to be cautious if venturing near sea.  
The NCM shared a notification about fresh to strong winds to continue over the Arabian Gulf today. Sea could be rough to very rough at times and waves up to 10 to 12 feet could hit until Wednesday morning 8 am.
 
For today's weather update, NCM said in a statement that the day will be partly cloudy in general and hazy at times. The amount of clouds will increase over islands and western coasts.
