Fog and mist engulfed parts of the UAE on Saturday morning, reducing the visibility to less than 1000m.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology, NCMS, has urged motorists to be cautious on roads due to low horizontal visibility caused by fog in various coastal and inland areas of the country.
In a statement on Saturday, NMCS said the weather will be hot in general, partly cloudy and hazy at times.
It said cloud amount will increase at times over some eastern areas, which may become convective at times by afternoon.
Light to moderate winds in general, freshening at times and causing blowing dust and sand over exposed areas can also be expected.
"The relative humidity is likely to increase during night and early morning over some coastal and internal areas especially westward. Seas will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman," it added.
Maximum temperatures will surge to 46°C inland, with lows of 22°C expected in the mountains.
Winds will veer southeasterly to northeasterly, 10 - 26kph, reaching 34kph at times in the internal areas during daytime.

According to World Weather Online, temperatures today in Dubai might peak at 40 degrees but it may feel like 46 degrees. Temperature will be at its lowest in the evening with 36 degrees feeling like 43 degrees.
