Abu Dhabi Police on Monday urged motorists to drive carefully on the roads because of high winds and dust clouds, with more unsettled weather forecast this week.
In a social media post, the force said the conditions could cut visibility on the roads.
It also reiterated its warning against using phones while driving.
It comes after the National Centre of Meteorology said that winds of up to 40 kilometres an hour could kick up dust clouds, chiefly in the UAE's west.
The NCM said the conditions — expected to last until 8pm — could cut visibility in some parts to 1,500 metres.
"Moderate winds ... fresh to strong at times causing blowing dust and sand may reduce the horizontal visibility," the NCM said.
"The sea will be rough to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and moderate becoming rough at times" in the Gulf of Oman.
While dust-ups are expected in the west, the east could be in for some light rainfall, the NCM said.
"Low clouds will appear over the eastern coast by morning [and] may be associated with light rainfall, with a probability of some convective clouds formation eastward by afternoon," it said.
The dusty, hot and humid conditions, however, are expected to continue for a few days.
"[It will be] hot during [the] daytime," the weather bureau said for its Tuesday forecast. "Light to moderate northwesterly winds [could] cause blowing dust and sand with a speed of 15 to 25kph reaching 40 kph. The sea will be slight to moderate and rough westward during the daytime in the Arabian Gulf."
Wednesday could also see more dust clouds along with the chance of light rain in the east.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites
The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.
It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.
“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.
The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.

Day 2, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Pakistan’s effort in the field had hints of shambles about it. The wheels were officially off when Wahab Riaz lost his run up and aborted the delivery four times in a row. He re-measured his run, jogged in for two practice goes. Then, when he was finally ready to go, he bailed out again. It was a total cringefest.
Stat of the day – 139.5 Yasir Shah has bowled 139.5 overs in three innings so far in this Test series. Judged by his returns, the workload has not withered him. He has 14 wickets so far, and became history’s first spinner to take five-wickets in an innings in five consecutive Tests. Not bad for someone whose fitness was in question before the series.
The verdict Stranger things have happened, but it is going to take something extraordinary for Pakistan to keep their undefeated record in Test series in the UAE in tact from this position. At least Shan Masood and Sami Aslam have made a positive start to the salvage effort.
