UAE residents woke up to very decreased visibility this AM as a huge sand storm had taken over the country. Dm’s across the Lovin platforms were filled with pictures, videos, and even reels of the dust storm.

However, there is no cause to worry as the rough weather conditions had been predicted by the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA UAE) almost a week ago on August 8.

The forecast also predicts rain in the eastern and southern regions beginning today until Wednesday, August 17
