Heavy fog significantly disrupted transportation across the UAE on Thursday morning, particularly affecting Sharjah International Airport where multiple flights were canceled and delayed. Airport authorities have advised passengers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport and to monitor official announcements for updates.
The National Center of Meteorology issued a red alert as visibility dropped below 100 meters in areas including Al Qusais, Al Muhaisnah, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. While Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports reported no major disruptions, road transportation was severely impacted during morning commute hours.
Police forces across emirates implemented safety measures including reduced speed limits to 80 km/h on Abu Dhabi's fog-affected roads and warnings against using hazard lights during fog, which can confuse other drivers. Authorities emphasized maintaining safe distances between vehicles, reducing speeds, and using low-beam headlights to navigate the challenging conditions safely.
