Abu Dhabi's National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a warning of fog forming across the UAE for four days, with visibility expected to drop below one kilometre in some areas. The fog is forecasted to last from Saturday until Tuesday, primarily between midnight and early morning hours. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, monitor weather forecasts, and reduce their speed on affected roads to ensure safety.
Fog formation is more likely at this time of year due to cooling temperatures, moisture-laden air, and clear skies. The three main conditions that favor fog are high humidity, clear skies, and light winds. Radiation fog, a common occurrence in the UAE, forms during nighttime and dawn, reducing horizontal visibility to less than one kilometre.
The phenomenon is most frequent in October, November, and March. The NCM advises motorists to stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust their driving speeds accordingly.
