The humidity is expected to increase at night and on Thursday morning with a probability of fog formation. This morning, residents of Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah woke up to foggy conditions. The NCM issued yellow and red alerts due to the mist. Drivers need to be careful on the roads as the fog has hindered visibility.
