Dense Morning Fog Hits Abu Dhabi as Inland Heat Tops Mid‑to‑High 40s

The NCM says a weak surface pressure system with an upper‑air high is producing fog and higher heat stress risks for drivers and outdoor workers.

Overview

  • Dense fog reduced visibility across parts of Abu Dhabi on Sunday morning, prompting NCM fog alerts and warnings for motorists until about 9am.
  • The National Centre of Meteorology forecasts inland daytime temperatures to reach the mid‑to‑high 40s Celsius, with some areas around 47–48°C during the next days.
  • Coastal cities and islands are expected to be cooler, with daytime highs in the low 40s Celsius, because maritime influence moderates temperatures near the coast.
  • Humidity will rise overnight and into mornings, with coastal levels near 90 percent that increase the chance of mist and dense fog and make nights feel much muggier.
  • Winds are expected to be light to moderate with slight seas, a modest temperature drop is forecast by Tuesday, and the combined heat and fog raise short‑term risks for travel, outdoor work and heat exposure.
