The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) had issued fog warnings for two consecutive days, during the early morning hours. The thick fog that settled over several parts of the UAE on Monday and Tuesday led to visibility concerns, with alerts active until 9am on both days. NCM predicts that mist formation during early mornings will persist until Friday, while blowing dust is expected to affect parts of the country by Saturday.
NCM also predicts that humidity levels are expected to rise this week.
