The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has warned of strong winds, most notably around Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday.

Reaching speeds of 55 kph, the wind is expected to cause dust and reduce horizon visibility, most notably around Sheikh Khalifa International Road from Al Hamra toward Mahmiyyat Al Suqour in the Al Dhafra Region.

Abu Dhabi Police has advised drivers to remain vigilant, follow traffic rules, and avoid direct exposure to dust.
