Dubai experienced a dense layer of thick fog on Saturday, leading to significantly low visibility across the city. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) promptly issued a red alert to warn residents and commuters about the hazardous conditions. Many areas, including Al-Qusais, were barely visible through the heavy haze, making driving challenging and potentially dangerous.
Residents have been advised to exercise caution while driving, reduce speed, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Streetlights glowed softly in the mist as cars appeared suddenly when closer. The fog has caused slow-moving traffic as drivers adapt to the limited visibility on roads.
Safety Guidelines by Authorities
- Drive with reduced speed and increased caution.
- Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Use headlights appropriately to improve visibility.
- Avoid sudden maneuvers or lane changes.
- Stay updated with weather alerts and notifications.
The NCM is closely monitoring the weather and providing regular updates to keep the public informed. This weather phenomenon is expected to continue fluctuating and may impact other parts of the UAE in the coming days.
The thick fog serves as a reminder to locals and visitors alike to stay vigilant and follow all traffic regulations to prevent accidents. It also highlights the importance of preparedness when facing sudden weather changes.
