emirates7 - Motorists traveling through Ras Al Khaimah are being urged to drive with extra care today due to dense fog affecting visibility across several key areas. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a fog alert in effect until 8 a.m., with heavy fog reported earlier this morning at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, Al Jazeera, and Al Hamra, significantly reducing visibility.

Drivers are encouraged to slow down and stay alert, as the foggy conditions present increased risks on the road.

Alongside the fog, the day’s weather is expected to be dusty and intermittently cloudy, with temperatures gradually decreasing. Forecasts suggest coastal and island regions will see highs between 39°C and 42°C, while interior areas may experience intense heat ranging from 43°C to 47°C. Mountainous zones are predicted to remain relatively cooler, with temperatures between 29°C and 36°C.

Northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 30 km/h, potentially strengthening to moderate or fresh gusts. These winds may stir up dust and sand, further impacting visibility. Sea conditions are expected to be rough in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate in the Oman Sea, prompting a call for caution from seafarers.
