Windy and dusty weather conditions will continue on Tuesday as part of the weather development described by forecasters as a rare occurence. Calling it a super sandstorm, forecasters said it is due to two major storms that have hit the region. The impact of the first storm was widespread across the Arabian Peninsula but lost its intensity on its way to UAE. The storm causing low pressure moved eastward, reaching over southeastern Iran and kicking up dust and sand that engulfed the northern region of UAE, parts of Oman, and the western coastal areas of Pakistan up to Karachi and the central city of Sukkur. “It is in fact a super sandstorm that has spread a layer of dust all over the GCC and parts of  Southeast Asia,” said a forecaster. Poor visibility was compounded by fog across the emirates on Monday night and early on Tuesday morning. The conditions were tougher in the northern areas where visibility dropped to a few hundred metres. The sharp decline in temperature has been causing problems for people. The mercury has dropped to 18 degrees Celsius, from the 37 degrees Celcius recorded just a couple of days ago. The centre temperature will be 15 degrees Celcius to 18 degrees Celcius in the coastal areas, 9 degrees Celcius to 26 degrees Celcius in the internal areas, and 8 degrees Celcius to 20 degrees Celcius in mountainous areas. Wind will be blowing at a speed of 30 to 40km/h in the coastal areas but it can go up to 60km/h at times. The thrust of winds could go even higher to 65km/h in the mountainous region. The NCMS said the weather will be hazy in general on Tuesday. Partly cloudy conditions can, however, develop in the northern and eastern areas. The sea will continue to be rough as winds are likely to be stronger. Strong winds may kick up dust and sand in the coastal and internal areas. The forecasters warned of poor visibility in some parts of the country.
