Parts of the country were covered in fog early on Wednesday.

But the humidity will rise again overnight, bringing a renewed risk of mist and fog, particularly in the west.

Light to moderate winds will cause blowing dust and sand.

It will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate in Sea of Oman.
