DUBAI // Many flights scheduled to arrive at airports across the country yesterday were diverted because of fog.
The National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology predicted similar conditions could cause further delays in the coming days.
“There will be fog over the coastal areas and the northern regions,” said a forecaster.
“The condition will repeat itself on Sunday morning, mostly over the central regions.”
The temperature will remain moderate during the day and will dip to relatively cold at night.
About seven flights coming into Abu Dhabi International Airport were diverted to other emirates.
Authorities at the Sharjah International Airport said all flights scheduled to land this morning were delayed or diverted.
Air Arabia, the largest budget carrier in the region, had several of their flights diverted but none cancelled.

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs

Straightforward ways to reduce sugar in your family's diet
- Ban fruit juice and sodas
- Eat a hearty breakfast that contains fats and wholegrains, such as peanut butter on multigrain toast or full-fat plain yoghurt with whole fruit and nuts, to avoid the need for a 10am snack
- Give young children plain yoghurt with whole fruits mashed into it
- Reduce the number of cakes, biscuits and sweets. Reserve them for a treat
- Don’t eat dessert every day
- Make your own smoothies. Always use the whole fruit to maintain the benefit of its fibre content and don’t add any sweeteners
- Always go for natural whole foods over processed, packaged foods. Ask yourself would your grandmother have eaten it?
- Read food labels if you really do feel the need to buy processed food
- Eat everything in moderation
