Weather alert: NCM warning, poor visibility due to fog and mist

The National Centre of Meteorology, NCM, has called on motorists to take all precautions and follow the traffic regulations regarding the chance of fog formation and poor horizontal visibility.

The NCM said that horizontal visibility could be less than 1,000 metres at times over some coastal and inland areas of the country.

Blowing dust and sand are expected to result in poor visibility at times, with wind speed averaging between 20-32 kmph and reaching 40 kmph.

“The wave height is expected to reach up to 7 feet high,” NCM said.

The sea will be moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea.
