Abu Dhabi fog alert: 80km/h speed limit on Sheikh Tahnoun and Taf roads

Abu Dhabi Police have implemented temporary 80km/h speed limits on two roads due to fog reducing visibility in certain areas of the emirate. The speed restrictions are currently in effect on Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan Road between Al Hayer and Masakin, as well as on Taf Road between Al Sad and Suwayhan, according to police officials.

Motorists are strongly advised to adhere to the posted speed limits and drive cautiously in regions where visibility has been compromised. The UAE Weather Forecast predicts a high likelihood of fog and mist, along with convective clouds, over coastal and inland areas throughout the night and into Tuesday morning. Rising humidity levels are contributing to the foggy conditions.

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), fog or mist is expected to blanket some coastal and inland regions overnight and persist into the early hours of Tuesday. The NCM forecasts cloudy skies developing over eastern areas this afternoon, with daytime temperatures soaring to a scorching 42°C. While the current week is expected to bring cooler weather, the recurring issue of morning fog is anticipated to continue as temperatures drop and humidity levels rise.
