Photos: Residents report heavy fog around Qatar this morning
Several motorists have reported heavy in different areas of Qatar and shared pictures with us on Twitter.
The heavy fog was foercast by the country's meteorology department and has been attributed to the increase in temperature due to an extension of low pressure associated with the Southwesterly to Southeasterly winds.
Here are just a few of the photos that Qatar residents are sharing on social media.

As per the traffic rules -
1. No hazard lights !!
2. Only fog light with low beam headlights ON,
3. No tail gating and must keep distance of atleast 3 cars,
4. Slow your speed and if very low visibility pull over ur car with hazard lights on and far away from the edge of road.
5. Clean you windscreen with wipers & ensure there is water full in the wiper water tank of ur car
Still many people use hazard lights (flash lights) in the fog, some use small parking light & some nothing and some crazy drivers.... tail gate & rush even in the fog.., that's why accidents happen due to this mis-ccordination in driving
plz plz plz.....dear Qatar people drive sensibly & cautiously - Safety is in ur hands.
