The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather alert for dusty conditions across parts of the UAE, warning that southeasterly winds are carrying dust over some coastal and inland areas.
According to the official statement, “Suspended dust with southeasterly winds over some coastal and internal areas [is] reducing the horizontal visibility to less than 2000 m from 08:45 until 17:00 Wednesday 16/07/2025.”
The conditions are expected to affect visibility and outdoor operations, particularly in sectors such as logistics, construction, and facilities management. Businesses are advised to take necessary precautions to protect outdoor workers, adjust schedules where needed, and monitor further updates from the NCM.
