Fog for Dubai Sunday morning?

Just walked the dog before bed.....a very damp 4kt breeze blowing in from the sea. 96% humidity, temp 29degs at 2100.

Not a met man, but I reckon a fairly good bet for fog and morning chaos.

So why does the TAF for Dubai forecast 3000m in haze? Surely if the met geeks walked outside they'd have a pretty good idea that conditions are ripe for fog?

So, as we see almost every time fog springs up, aircraft arrive back here with insufficient fuel because the forecast doesn't mention it, but of course for the next two nights the boffins predict fog, which invariably doesn't happen.

(now of course I hang my man-parts out for ridicule if the fog doesn't turn up ..let me just poke my head outside once more before hitting send....)

..yip, worse than 10mins ago. You heard it here first folks.
