Public warns of weather’s mood swings
The Fujairah Police have issued a cautionary advisory informing residents and visitors about possible changes in weather on the UAE National Day and urged them to be careful when going to the beaches or picnicking in the desert or hilly areas.
The law-enforcement agencies here are on full alert to meet with any untoward situation, Fujairah Police Director-General Lt-Col. Mohammed Ahmed bin Ghanem said yesterday.
“I do call upon all visitors to be more cautious about weather changes. Should they need help or face any problem, they should not be hesitant, and immediately call the Operations Room on 999 or seek help from any police station or patrol,” Lt-Col. Bin Ghanem stated.
All the necessary procedures to ensure safety, stability and security during the celebrations have been undertaken and measures have also been taken to keep the flow of traffic smooth, he said.
The emirate mostly attracts hordes of visitors during the National Day holidays, he added. More security and traffic patrols have been pressed into service at tourists and heritage sites, particularly the Fujairah Corniche and Dibba, Lt-Col. Bin Ghanem said.
In Abu Dhabi, the Met office predicted that the National Day will be slightly warmer than normal and the skies will be partly clouded.
The temperature on the National Day is likely to rise by two to three degrees with the maximum being 32-34 degrees Celsius and the minimum 24-26 degrees.
As a result of powerful winds, the seas will remain rough till Saturday morning and fishermen have been advised to keep away, Met official Mohammed Ikram Quraishi said yesterday, adding that there is nothing to worry for beach-goers.
The north-westerly wind will blow at 8-14 knots in the plains from Friday till Monday, and 15-20 knots over the seas today, but on Saturday it will come down to 10-16 knots over the seas.
