The UAE on Sunday morning woke up to a surreal scene as a monster fog engulfed Dubai and other parts of the country. The thick fog, which began descending on Saturday night, led to several accidents and disrupted air and road traffic. Authorities have urged people to exercise caution while driving in the poor visibility conditions. “Please be careful while driving in the UAE today due to poor visibility due to fog,” the Dubai Police tweeted.
The fog is caused by moisture in the air condensing into tiny droplets of water. These droplets then suspend in the air and create a fog. The fog can be quite thick at times, making it difficult to see. The UAE is currently experiencing cold and wet weather conditions as a result of a low-pressure system in the Arabian Sea. The weather seems to have improved by Wednesday.
“Due to the dense fog in different parts of the kingdom, the General Directorate of Civil Defence urges citizens and residents not to leave their homes unless necessary,” the directorate said in a statement. “The Directorate also asks everyone to take caution while driving and to maintain a safe distance between vehicles,” it added. The dense fog is expected to last until Tuesday.
Fog in Dubai is not a common occurrence, but it does happen on occasion. When it does, it can be quite a spectacle. The fog usually occurs in the early morning hours, and it can last for several hours.
The fog was so thick that it looked like a monster. It was terrifying. The people of Dubai were terrified. They had never seen anything like it before. It was a truly frightening sight. The monster fog appeared suddenly and without warning. It rolled in quickly, blanketing the city in an eerie white veil.
While it created a havoc in the city, traffic came to a standstill and flights were grounded. The city was plunged into darkness and chaos. The monster fog lasted for several hours before finally dissipating. But the damage had been done. The city was left shaken and terrified. It was a truly frightening experience that will never be forgotten.

“The weather will be fair to cloudy at times over the coastal and internal areas during the day, while it will be hazy at times over some western coastal areas. The sea will be slight to moderate, “said the NCM.
The report said that there is a possibility of fog or mist formation over some internal areas late Friday night and early Saturday morning. “Visibility may drop to less than 1,000 metres in these areas during this time,” warned the NCM.
Moreover, The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a warning for poor visibility and urged drivers to take extra caution. “Foggy conditions are expected to continue over some internal areas during the morning hours, with the possibility of extending to other areas by noon,” the NCM said in a statement. “The public is advised to take caution while driving and be aware of sudden changes in visibility due to fog,” it added.
The report advised motorists to take extra care while driving in these conditions and to allow extra time for their journey. It also advised people with respiratory problems to avoid exposure to the fog.
