Monday morning, February 17, is predicted to bring weather conditions conducive to widespread fog and mist across Cuba, as meteorologist Ariel Maturell Salina reported on Facebook. Forecasts suggest that visibility on the roads could be significantly reduced between 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., posing challenges for drivers and other road users.
Salina shared images from the German ICON model, highlighting the areas most affected by fog, depicted in white and yellow. These weather conditions are expected to impact various provinces, prompting a call for extra caution during the early hours of the day.
Journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso also emphasized the importance of driving safely, particularly on roads and in areas with poor visibility. "Drivers and other road users, please exercise caution this Monday due to the fog," he urged through his social media channels.
Experts recommend that drivers encountering dense fog should reduce speed, use low beam or fog lights, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The combination of humidity and cool early morning temperatures contributes to these phenomena, which may linger until sunrise in some parts of the island.
The public is advised to stay informed with weather updates and adhere to road safety guidelines to prevent accidents.
