Dubai, UAE. On Sunday, May 13, the territory of the United Arab Emirates was covered by a powerful sandstorm, accompanied by a strong wind. Visibility on highways decreased to 2,000 meters both in coastal areas and inland, which triggered accidents and congestion.
The UAE National Center for Meteorology and Seismology predicts that bad weather will rage at least until 2 p.m. Daytime outdoor temperature rises to a maximum of 45.4 degrees Celsius.
Doctors in the UAE warn that a sandstorm can cause allergic rhinitis. Everyone who goes outside is recommended to protect the eyes, nose, and mouth from the penetration of allergens contained in fine sand.
It is also recommended to stay away from parking lots where a lot of dust accumulates. People with weakened immunity and a tendency to bronchopulmonary diseases are recommended not to leave the house.
