Arab Weather - The latest computer maps from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate a significant increase in northwesterly winds, accompanied by strong gusts that will stir up dust waves in the coming hours in areas of the south and east of the Kingdom, including parts of the desert highway that connects the capital, Amman, to the southern regions. This coincides with a significant decline in the effects of the heat wave.

A significant increase in wind speed in the coming hours, accompanied by strong gusts.

God willing, surface winds are expected to noticeably intensify, becoming particularly active during the afternoon and evening hours, accompanied by strong gusts that may exceed 60 km/h in the southern desert and mountainous regions. Dust waves are also expected in the southeast and east of the Kingdom, including desert roads.

It is recommended to reduce speed when driving on roads where visibility is reduced due to dust, and to be aware of the potential complications that may occur for patients with respiratory and eye conditions due to dust.

And God knows best.
