It looks like winter has arrived as Dubai wakes up to a thick blanket of fog engulfing the city.

The hazy weather is expected to continue throughout the day and according to the national weather report below we can expect a similar fog and mist pattern again in the morning.

Drivers are urged to be aware as low visibility on the roads has lead to slow moving traffic.

Residents took to twitter to document the shift

‘Winter is coming’ – finally!

Bit #foggy this morning. Drive safe #Dubai!#winteriscoming pic.twitter.com/WSRBt2nZVj
