NiMet forecast the northern region down to the inland cities of the South to be in dust haze condition with visibility range of 2km to 5km throughout the forecast period on Sunday.

According to the agency, citizens should avoid substances that may ignite easily to reduce incidences of fire outbreaks as the atmosphere is usually very dry, windy and dusty.
