Dust storms to cover Dubai and Sharjah for two days, says meteorologist

Residents allergic to dust must take precautions on Tuesday and Wednesday as gusty winds that blow dust and sand may prevail in Dubai and parts of Sharjah, a meteorologist warned on Monday, SIA reports citing Gulfnews.

A massive cloud of dust covered the skyline of Dubai and Sharjah on Monday afternoon causing limited visibility on most roads, especially in open areas.

Moderate winds associated with convective clouds reduced horizontal visibility to as low as 100 metres on Emirates Road (formerly Dubai Bypass Road). Visibility was also limited within the city as gusty winds kicked up dust in Dubai and parts of Sharjah.

"We are at a season where we can expect gusty winds to blow dust and sand due to the formation of convective clouds coming from eastern and southern part of the country," a weather forecaster from the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology told Gulf News.
