Caution urged during foggy conditions

Al Ain: People travelling late at night and early in the morning have been advised to be careful about foggy conditions on coastal highways, particularly on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai Road.

The contrasting day and night temperatures and increase in humidity level have been creating possibilities of fog and mist in the coastal and internal areas. The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has urged motorists to be alert while driving around these times of the day and night.

Meanwhile, the effects of the recent rainy spell are fading away as daytime temperatures have started climbing up across the country. Weather conditions will be fair to partly cloudy over some areas today.

"We expect a gradual increase in daytime temperatures," said a duty forecaster at the national weather bureau. Weather conditions are expected to continue to be stable over the next few days.

The amount of humidity has also been increasing particularly in the coastal areas.

The NCMS has issued a warning, advising early-morning travellers to observe caution against likely foggy conditions, especially on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway.

Winds would be light to moderately rough, said the forecaster, noting that they could become stronger during the day.

The sea is likely to be slight to moderately rough over the next few days.

Humidity is expected to increase during the night, particularly in coastal and internal areas.
