UAE weather authorities have issued a rain alert on Wednesday and warned the public of convective cloud formation causing rainfall across scattered areas in the country.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) shared a yellow alert, forecasting fresh to strong winds that are expected to cause blowing dust and sand and reduce horizontal visibility in some areas.

The authority added that the speed of the wind could reach 55 km/hr over some areas, with the unstable conditions expected to affect the country until 11:00 pm on Wednesday.
