Residents continued to experience dense blanket of fog on early mornings in the UAE for the fourth consecutive day. Several flights were delayed at Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi airports on Tuesday. However, no flights were cancelled due to bad weather.
Meanwhile, weather experts have forecast fog formation to continue until Friday, after which the skies are expected to clear up.
The National Meteorological Centre (NCM) stated that Tuesday's fog is in line with the forecast that was issued earlier this week. The NMC stated that the fog affected the northern emirates more than the western regions on Tuesday.
Traffic police urged residents to exercise caution while driving in the fog and to refrain from using hazard lights. Major roads in Dubai and Sharjah witnessed traffic jams in the morning.
Mohammed Afraz, a resident of International City in Dubai, said: "Some of the inroads to reach International City, that's if you cut in from Al Awir road, do not have street lights. While driving at night, we could not see a thing. It was something out of a horror flick." However, another Dubai resident Sajeev said that the weather conditions have improved since last week.
"The mornings have become nice and sunny. So that is something that I am happy about. Initially, there would be fog even mid-afternoon.but not from yesterday," said Reshmi Nair.
Weather forecasters have said that the temperatures are expected to remain steady throughout the week. "It will be humid at night and early mornings, especially in the internal areas on Wednesday. However, the fog formation will continue until Wednesday and Thursday early mornings and nights," added a duty weather forecaster at the NCM. The fog warning is still up though relative humidity is expected to increase by Tuesday night and Wednesday morning giving rise to fog or mist formation.
