In addition to the misty fog, the Meteorological Authority has predicted the possibility of light to moderate rainfall in some areas, particularly in the northern coastal regions and parts of the Western Desert. The rainfall is expected to occur at irregular intervals, and residents in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions.

Furthermore, the Meteorological Authority has forecast that winds will pick up in various parts of the country, which will help to moderate the temperature, especially in shaded areas and at night. This is expected to bring some relief to residents, particularly in the hotter regions.
