How to stay safe on the roads during the dust warning in Abu Dhabi
If you've stepped outside today and noticed a hazy, sand-streaked skyline, you're not imagining things. The UAE is currently under a dust storm alert, with strong southeasterly winds whipping across parts of the country and reducing visibility on the roads. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued an official weather warning for Wednesday July 16, as gusts of up to 40km/h stir up sand and dust from 8.45am to 5pm. Visibility in some coastal and inland areas could drop to under 2,000 metres, making driving tricky – and even dangerous. In response, Abu Dhabi Police have issued a firm reminder, saying: 'Due to low visibility caused by high winds and dust, we advise drivers to remain alert and reduce speed. For your safety and the safety of others on the road, please avoid using mobile phones or taking videos while driving.' So, what should you do? Whether you're heading out for work or planning a summer road trip, here's how to stay safe while navigating the dust. How to stay safe on the roads when it's dusty Stay focused on the road As ever, this isn't the time for car selfies or voice notes. Keep both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road – visibility could change in seconds. Slow it down High winds and low visibility are a risky combo. Reduce your speed, leave extra space between you and the car ahead and be prepared for sudden stops or detours. No phones, no distractions Abu Dhabi Police are crystal clear: do not film the weather or use your phone behind the wheel. If you want to update your group chat, do it once you're safely parked. Avoid driving if you can Not essential? Stay indoors. Dust storms don't just affect the roads – they can also trigger allergies and irritate your lungs. If you're staying home, close windows and secure any loose items on your balcony. Keep an eye on the forecast Weather in the UAE can turn quickly, especially during the summer months. Follow your local emergency channels for real-time updates on dust conditions and road safety alerts. Don't underestimate the dust Even if it doesn't look dramatic, blowing dust can sneak up on you while driving. Treat today's weather like a proper hazard – because it is one.
