The Emergency Ministry warns against the formation of extensive fog on Sunday evening and Monday morning in several districts.
The Ministry of Emergencies and Disaster Management warned of the formation of extensive fog on Sunday evening, dawn and Monday morning, November 16, 2026, over large parts of Idlib, Aleppo, Raqqa and parts of Homs, Hama and al-Hasakah, which will lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility.
The warning and preparedness department at the ministry called for the necessity to avoid traveling at night and in the early morning hours unless necessary, and to verify the technical condition of the car before the trip and the readiness of the brakes, wipers and fog lights.
The office called for driving carefully and without distraction, using fog lights and sticking to the lanes, leaving a sufficient safety distance between cars and avoiding sudden stops to avoid collisions and traffic accidents due to the low level of horizontal visibility.
The department emphasized speed reduction and caution at turns, gradients and road intersections, especially in the aforementioned areas, and paying attention to pedestrians on the road, while also paying attention to pedestrians in places designated for crossing.
