Arab Weather - The latest outputs of numerical weather prediction models indicate the formation of fog during the night hours of Tuesday/Wednesday and Wednesday morning, and also during the night hours of Wednesday/Thursday and Thursday morning. The fog will be very dense in some areas, causing a significant decrease and possibly a complete lack of horizontal visibility.

 

Dense fog covers many areas, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the main roads leading to the northern cities.

God willing, the dense fog is expected to cover many areas, including coastal and inland areas, including the capital Abu Dhabi and the city of Dubai, in addition to the fog extending towards some inland areas, especially the western ones. It is expected that major roads linking the main cities, such as the road linking Dubai to Abu Dhabi, will witness a dense formation of fog tonight and the coming nights, as we mentioned above.

 

What causes the dense fog at the end of the week?

The reason for the expected formation of dense fog is due to the rush of air currents saturated with moisture and lower temperatures coming from the Arabian Gulf, coinciding with a relative calm in wind speed during the night hours and the presence of condensation nuclei, coinciding with the absence of cloud cover in the sky due to the dominance of an area of high atmospheric pressure that works to collect and trap moisture near the Earth’s surface, which condenses into dense fog that lasts for late morning hours.

 

And God knows best.
