Light to moderate fog is expected to develop again over Sharjah and Dubai tomorrow (Sunday) morning in the early hours, a senior meteorologist at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said.

Today (Saturday), fog enveloped the emirates of Sharjah and Dubai and coastal areas, causing visibility to drop by 200 metres.

Senior meteorologist at NCMS, Dr. Abdul Karim, said humidity will increase in the evening time today by 95 to 100 per cent because of the fog formation.

“There was fog formation in the early hours of this morning and it disappeared at 9am. The fog appeared in the northern coast and adjacent inland areas, near to the Sharjah and Dubai airports. There was also fog formation in the central inlands and shallow fog over the Maktoum International Airport and Al Ain Airport.

“There will be 95 to 100 per cent humidity tonight and there will be a 30 to 40 per cent chance of fog formations again tomorrow, mainly within the coastal areas and adjacent areas, such as Dubai and Sharjah.”
