Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Meteorology Department (QMD) warned the public of misty to foggy conditions expected in some northern areas of the country on Monday. In an advisory shared on its official platforms, QMD urged the public to be careful as horizontal visibility is expected to drop to less than 2km.
Earlier on Monday, QMD said there would be a rise in relative humidity levels, with chances of mist to fog forming over some areas during the night hours and the following morning, advising the public to be cautious.
A few days ago, QMD issued detailed safety instructions for motorists driving in low-visibility conditions, urging them to remain in their lanes and avoid overtaking or frequent lane changes, which can be dangerous during foggy weather. Staying alert and listening for potential hazards ahead was also highlighted as an important precaution.
