Al Ain: Cool weather is expected to continue all over the emirates with occasional partly cloudy conditions, increasing daytime temperatures, and some chances of fog in certain areas.

Weathermen also indicated an increase in humidity at night and early morning over the next couple of days in the coastal and interior areas. Cooler temperatures coupled with humidity may create mist or fog over some areas.

People in Dubai, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi and some other cities also faced misty and foggy conditions on Monday in the morning. "It was dense in some areas reducing visibility to considerably low levels," said a weatherman.

He said air moisture first becomes mist and then fog when it gets cold mostly in the coastal and green areas.

Abu Dhabi police have also warned motorists to be cautious in the foggy conditions. The police have started broadcasting alert messages on Emirates FM radio. The service will not only alert the motorists and increase the awareness level but also help the police to communicate directly with them.

The police will also guide motorists on how to drive in foggy conditions, the use warning signs, lamps, speed reduction, keeping safe distance between vehicles and stopping when required.

The weatherman also advised motorists to be extra careful while driving late in the night and early morning since the conditions are moderately windy. The winds have been blowing at the speed of seven to 14 knots from the northwest and northeast directions at night and morning becoming south-easterly and south-westerly during the daytime.
