The UAE can expect turbulent weather in the coming days, with some rain and lightning expected, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

The climate will be affected by a surface-air depression from the Red Sea.

The weather bureau said wind would cause dust storms over exposed areas, leading to low visibility.

On Wednesday and Thursday, there will be a chance of rain in some coastal areas and islands.

From Friday to Sunday, clouds and rain will form over parts of the country. There is also the chance of lightning in some areas.

On Monday, the weather will remain cloudy to partly cloudy in some areas, with the possibility of some slight rain in the east in the morning and a noticeable drop in temperature.
