During this forecast period, NiMet anticipates moderate dust haze with horizontal visibility of 2km to 5km over the North Central region and the inland cities of the South. Coastal cities, on the other hand, are expected to have a hazy atmosphere persisting throughout.

On Thursday, the forecast extends the expectation of moderate dust haze with horizontal visibility of 2km to 5km to include the North, North Central, and inland cities of the South. Coastal cities are likely to maintain a hazy atmosphere.

Looking ahead to Friday, NiMet predicts a continuation of moderate dust haze with horizontal visibility of 2km to 5km over the North, North-central, and inland areas of the South. Coastal cities are again foreseen to experience a hazy atmosphere.
