Parts of Dubai will experience visibility of below 1,000 metres, most fog cumulating around Jebel Ali.

The foggy condition will continue to until 8-9am, after which the fog will gradually dissolve, said the centre.

“Similar weather will continue over the next three days,” said a NCMS spokesperson adding that fog was predicted for today as well. “The fog is locally formed and paired with a very light wind. Therefore, it will gradually dissolve.”
