Video: Extreme fog blankets UAE, humidity to reach 95%

UAE residents need to be careful about driving in thick fog as it might lead to accidents.

UAE residents woke up to fog again this week as a thick fog engulfed few parts of emirates. Dubai, in particular, was relatively foggier than yesterday.
The National Center of Meteorology & Seismology confirmed the continuity of fog formation and poor visibility of less than 500 metres over some of the coastal and internal areas.
We managed to get a glimpse of the heavy fog on Abu Dhabi - Liwa highway this morning.
