Fog envelops parts of UAE for over 10 hours

Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

Fog blanketed many areas across Al Ain, Al Dhafra, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain and Dubai on Tuesday morning.

The fog, which lasted for over 10.5 hours between 11pm on Monday and 9:30am on Tuesday, caused the horizontal visibility to be less than 1,000 metres in some areas.

The weekend’s weather is expected to be clear to partly cloudy with a gradual drop in temperature but will be humid at night and on Thursday morning with a chance of fog or light fog over some inland areas.

Light to moderate northwesterly winds will blow, turning to active and dust-stirring at times onshore at 10 to 25 and up to 40 km/h, while the sea will have moderate to regular waves in the Sea of Oman.
