Foggy conditions can be seen in Abu Dhabi, and police have called on motorists to exercise caution due to the drop in visibility. Residents in the country can also expect mist and fog to form by night and Tuesday morning.

Speed limits have returned to normal on all external roads in the emirate, Abu Dhabi Police said.

Motorists were urged to follow the changing speed limits displayed on boards.

The fog formation is likely over some coastal and internal areas, particularly towards the west. During the day, the weather is expected to be fair with partly cloudy conditions at times, according to a weather forecast by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
