The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) issued a weather alert on Monday, warning of active to occasionally strong northwesterly winds, raising dust and sand and reducing horizontal visibility to less than 3,000 metres in some coastal and inland areas.

In a statement issued today, the Centre stated that the weather conditions began at 10:30 am and will continue until 6:00 pm, urging the public to exercise caution, particularly when driving on external and open roads, due to the risk of sudden drops in visibility caused by blowing dust.
