Tuesday’s red alert follows similar warnings issued by NCM over the past weekend and on Monday, as foggy mornings become increasingly common with the UAE’s transition into winter. The cooler weather has brought a mix of fair and partly cloudy skies, with temperatures reaching a comfortable range.
The weather forecast indicates that humid conditions will persist into Wednesday morning, with a chance of fog or mist reappearing in certain coastal and interior regions. Light to moderate winds are also anticipated, and calm seas are expected in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
The NCM will continue monitoring weather conditions closely, with further advisories as needed to ensure public safety. Residents and motorists are advised to stay updated on changing weather reports and heed guidance from local authorities during the foggy mornings ahead.
