A significant decrease in temperatures is expected today. Temperatures in Abu Dhabi will reach up to 28ºC, and they will hit 27ºC in Dubai. The emirates will see lows of 20ºC and 19ºC respectively.

The country's National Center of Metereology (NCM) has also issued an alert for rough seas, cautioning residents that waves will reach a height of 6ft in the Oman Sea until 9am Wednesday morning.

Moderate to fresh winds will blow, becoming strong at times, in the northern and eastward parts of the country, especially over the sea. These winds will cause blowing dust during the daytime, reducing horizontal visibility.
