A red weather alert has been issued in the UAE as dusty conditions will reduce visibility to less than 100 meters in some parts of Abu Dhabi.
Taking to their official social media handle, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said Dalma Island, Umm Al Sheif Island and Al Hamrah (Al Dafra area) will be severely impacted.
The weather bureau also issued orange and yellow alerts across several coastal areas in the UAE capital, with a drop in temperatures forecast for the next few days.
The dusty conditions will be on until 10:00 pm on Tuesday.
