UAE Issues Fog Alerts as Variable Weather Conditions Sweep Across the Country
The UAE is experiencing a shift in weather today, October 7, with the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasting fair to partly cloudy skies. While temperatures are set to climb, there is a chance of isolated rainfall in southern and eastern regions during the afternoon, driven by the development of convective clouds. By nightfall, residents in coastal and internal areas should prepare for increased humidity, which may lead to patches of mist or fog heading into Thursday morning.
In response to the early morning visibility issues, authorities have issued red and yellow weather alerts across various parts of the nation. Law enforcement in Abu Dhabi and Dubai has been quick to urge motorists to exercise caution, specifically reminding drivers that reduced speed limits on major highways, such as the Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Road, are mandatory, not optional. With temperatures expected to peak between 42ÂșC and 43ÂșC in major cities and winds reaching speeds of up to 35 km/hr, residents are advised to stay updated on official traffic and weather bulletins throughout the day.
