UAE Issues Climate Alert: Unpredictable Weather Ahead
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is bracing for unpredictable weather over the next few days, as the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has issued a climate alert. According to the National Centre of Weather Forecasting (NCM), residents can expect significant drops in temperature, rain throughout the day, and potentially wind speeds of up to 60kmph.
The NCM has predicted gloomy conditions for the next two days, with rain of various intensities forecast for Wednesday and Thursday. Some locations may also experience thunder and lightning. Overcast conditions are expected to dominate on Friday.
Given these conditions, the NCM advises drivers to drive with care and caution, and if necessary, to avoid driving unless absolutely essential. When visibility is reduced, the NCM suggests activating low-beam headlights and maintaining safe distances due to potential slippery roads after rain.
The MoI, NCEMA, and other entities are prepared for any emergencies during this period. The NCM also encourages drivers to stay updated via official channels and comply with any directions from appropriate authorities.
In light of the unstable weather conditions, the climate alert urges homeowners and motorists to adhere to safety standards. The public is also warned against sharing false information or rumors about the weather. The NCM advises against spreading rumors and encourages compliance with their records.
The UAE authorities, including the Ministry of Interior and National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority, generally advise motorists to drive carefully, especially when visibility is reduced due to fog or dust storms. They also recommend maintaining safe distances, using headlights during low-visibility conditions, avoiding speeding and abrupt maneuvers.
Official sources should be referred to for updates and safety guidelines, according to the MoI. It is essential to stay informed and follow the advice of the authorities to ensure safety during this weather event. For exact announcements and weather warnings issued for January 24-26, 2023, official UAE government communication channels or archived news from that period would need to be consulted.
