On Saturday, residents woke up to another foggy morning. Red and yellow alerts were raised for fog in some areas until 9.30am.

This is the fourth day that NCM has issued fog alerts early in the morning. Such conditions, however, are expected as the weather transitions into autumn.

It also warned of a deterioration in horizontal visibility, which may drop even further at times over some coastal and internal areas.

Temperatures may hit a high of 40 degrees Celsius in Abu Dhabi and 37 degrees Celsius in Dubai.

Winds will be light to moderate but may sometimes turn active and reach speeds of 45kmph.
