The UAE is in for a dusty day on Monday, with strong winds and waves of up to three meters in the Arabian Gulf.

Forecasters at The National Centre of Meteorology said north-westerly winds of up to 60 kilometers a hour will also create waves of up to 1.8 meters high in the Oman Sea.

Winds will kick up sand and dust clouds at times over exposed areas.

The temperature will reach 26°C in Abu Dhabi city and Dubai. But conditions will be hotter on the southern border, with temperatures reaching 34°C.

The weather on Tuesday will be similar, and slightly hotter, with highs of 27°C in the cities on the coast. Winds will blow dust and sand at times.

Wednesday will be less dusty and fair in general, with another small jump in temperatures to 29°C.

But that could be the last of the more pleasant temperatures for some time.

There will be a more noticeable increase on Thursday, when the temperature is forecast to hit 35°C in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Temperatures are look set to remain in the mid-to-high 30s for the foreseeable future thereafter.
