The UAE is set to see a dusty Tuesday, with a few cloudy spells throughout the day and lower temperatures than earlier in the week.

The dust storms will result in low visibility over exposed areas.

The National Centre of Meteorology overnight urged motorists to take all necessary precautions and follow the traffic regulations regarding the chance of fog formation.

In a statement, it warned that poor horizontal visibility levels are expected at times over some internal areas, especially eastward, from 2:00am until 8:30am on Tuesday.

The NCM said temperatures could hit 25°C in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai.

It will be rough to very rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough in the Sea of Oman.
