Low visibility, rough seas warning for UAE residents due to high winds

ABU DHABI: UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) issued a statement on Saturday warning seafarers to exercise caution in the Arabian Gulf and drivers to take extra precautions due to poor visibility caused by sandstorms and high winds.
According to the NCM, winds with speeds reaching 55kph per hour will cause rough seas and wave heights could reach up eight feet by 10am on Sunday.
In the statement, the center expected visibility to drop to less than 2,000 meters, urging drivers to properly follow the traffic rules.
