DUBAI : The National Center of Meteorology has warned of turbulent offshore conditions across the United Arab Emirates, particularly in the Oman Sea, where waves could reach up to seven feet. Residents and those planning marine activities have been urged to remain cautious and follow safety advisories as seas remain rough.

Weather conditions across the country are expected to be partly cloudy, with convective cloud formation likely over eastern regions, including Fujairah. These clouds may bring light rainfall during the afternoon.

Strong winds will continue to affect much of the Emirates, blowing at 15 to 25 km/h and occasionally gusting to 45 km/h. The winds are expected to stir up dust and sand, reducing horizontal visibility in some areas, especially on open roads.
