Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center show the dense dust storm that began affecting southern Iraq and Kuwait at the time of preparing this report. Computer simulations indicate that the eastern parts of Saudi Arabia will be affected by this dust storm in the coming hours, coinciding with northwesterly winds.

Dusty conditions are expected to extend toward the capital, Riyadh, during the afternoon and evening hours, but at a lesser intensity. However, dust concentrations will be higher and will significantly impact horizontal visibility in the eastern parts of the Kingdom, God willing.
