Light to moderate winds will blow in the UAE, freshening at times, particularly with clouds, may generate blowing dust and sand that will reduce the visibility on roads for motorists.

Heavy thunder was also heard rumbling in parts of Abu Dhabi on Wednesday afternoon, July 6 and rain fell in the suburbs as unsettled weather continues in the United Arab Emirates.

Low cloud hung over the capital of the UAE, along with Dubai as well as the Northern Emirates.
