Exposed areas are at higher risk from dust on Monday, according to weather officials.

Dust levels are likely to be higher near coastal areas because of fresh winds coming in from the sea.

Meanwhile, the sea is expected to become rough at times in both Oman Sea and Arabian Gulf.

The National Center of Meteorology is still expecting rain this week because of low pressure from the south east.

The sky is expected to be partly cloudy throughout the week, with possible mist and fog formation on Thursday and Friday.

The temperature as of 7:20am reached 20C. It will gradually increase to a maximum of 24C at 2pm.

The wind speed will be between 20 – 30 km/hr, and will reach up to 50 km/hr over the sea.
