Weather update: UAE issues red and yellow alert

UAE Meteorological Department has issued red and yellow alerts in key areas due to heavy fog.

The UAE government has issued red and yellow alerts in Dubai and other cities in the country as a precautionary measure.

The UAE Meteorological Department has issued red and yellow alerts in key areas due to heavy fog. Officials have warned that the fog may increase in intensity, leading to extremely low visibility.

Dubai Police has advised citizens and drivers to drive carefully, saying that fines will be imposed on those who drive irresponsibly on the roads.

On the other hand, a speed limit control system has been activated on the roads in Abu Dhabi during fog, with the aim of forcing drivers to drive at a set speed and preventing accidents.

The Meteorological Department has requested citizens to avoid going out unless necessary and to take special care to use high beam lights and increase the distance when driving.

This fog is likely to be particularly dense in the morning and evening hours, which may slow down traffic and increase the risk of accidents.
