Briefs | Mist and fog to cover city until Sunday

Mist and fog will affect Macau until Sunday, according to the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG). Due to a warm and humid maritime airstream, poor visibility on the sea surface is expected to persist throughout the week. The Marine and Water Bureau has called for careful sailing and safety in water sports, advising passengers taking high-speed boats to pay attention to weather information. According to the SMG, visibility will improve over the weekend as the air cools down. Moreover, temperatures will be unstable due to the contention of two airstreams during the change from winter to summer.
