Arab Weather - Satellite images received by the Arab Regional Weather Center indicate that the northern and central regions, including the capital, Baghdad, were affected by a dust storm for the third day in a row, which coincides with the third day of Eid al-Adha.

The dusty nougat is dense over the capital, Baghdad, accompanied by a significant increase in the proportion of dust in the atmosphere and a low horizontal visibility, as Baghdad International Airport recorded a significant decrease in the horizontal visibility range of 500 metres.

The dusty weather is expected to continue in the coming hours, with the dusty condition gradually spreading to the southern regions, as happened yesterday.
