Forecasts of fog across Egypt for 1 week

Low visibility is expected on most roads, especially those near water and farmlands, as well as desert or agricultural highways due to fog which is forecast to last until next Thursday, according to head of Egyptian Meteorological Authority Ahmed Abdel Aal.

In a statement on Thursday, Abdel Aal blamed the fog on the high levels of humidity, which exceed 90 percent, coinciding with calm winds. Visibility will be reduced to less than 1,000 meters from late night until early every morning.

Abdel Aal urged traffic departments to take necessary precautions to limit any accidents that could occur due to speeding in poor weather.
