UAE weather: NCM issues alert over dense fog and near-zero visibility

## Fog Warning Issued

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a warning for dense fog across parts of the UAE, expected to develop after 1am and persist until around 10am. This weather condition is likely to cause significantly reduced visibility, potentially dropping to near zero in some coastal and inland areas.

## Safety Precautions for Motorists

Authorities have advised drivers to exercise extreme caution, reduce speed, and adhere to traffic safety guidelines during these early morning hours. The foggy conditions are anticipated to coincide with generally fair to partly cloudy weather on Sunday, along with a slight decrease in temperatures.

## Weather Conditions and Forecast

Humidity levels are expected to rise overnight into early Monday, increasing the chances of fog or light fog in susceptible regions. Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally freshening, with speeds ranging from 10 to 20 km/h, and potentially reaching up to 35 km/h.

## Sea and Temperature Outlook

Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are forecasted to be slight to moderate, with high tides occurring at 4:10pm and 4:28am, and low tides at 10:08am and 9:52pm. In the Oman Sea, waves will remain slight, with high tides at 1:29pm and 12:40am, and low tides at 6:42pm and 7:43am.

Temperatures will remain moderate, with Abu Dhabi expecting a high of 28°C and a low of 17°C, while Dubai will see temperatures between 29°C and 19°C. Inland areas like Al Ain and Liwa could reach up to 30°C and 32°C respectively, with humidity levels rising to 90% overnight in several areas.
