Dense fog swept across parts of the UAE early this morning, significantly reducing visibility and catching many early risers off guard. Motorists faced challenging driving conditions, with authorities urging drivers to slow down, maintain safe distances, and use fog lights where necessary. Residents are advised to stay updated on official weather advisories and exercise extra caution while commuting.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecast a chance of fog formation with a deterioration in horizontal visibility. In its weather update on Monday, the NCM said horizontal visibility may drop even further at times over some coastal, internal areas and islands from 22:00 23/02/2026 Monday until 10:00 Tuesday 24/02/2026.
