There will be cloudy weather over coastal and northern parts of the country with the likelihood of rain falling, the NCM said.

Saturday night is expected to be humid, continuing into Sunday morning, with winds reaching 35kph in places.

Temperatures will increase on Sunday with a probability of fog forming in some coastal and interior areas.

Mist is forecast for Monday, with the day being “fair to partly cloudy in general”.

Some flights were cancelled to Dubai, with others diverted, due to the severity of the weather.

Residents were warned to only leave their homes if necessary given hazardous conditions on the roads.
