Kuwait | Monitoring a dense dust wave that formed in Iraq towards some Gulf countries tonight.

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The Arab Weather Regional Center is monitoring the latest satellite images showing a strong dust wave forming inside Iraqi territory. This dust wave is expected to move south and southeast over the coming hours, directly toward Kuwait, and possibly east of Hafar Al-Batin and some eastern parts of Saudi Arabia at a lower intensity.

The reason for the formation of this wave of dense dust is due to the large temperature differences between a cooler mass rushing from the north towards the Levant and Iraq, and a warmer one centered to the south, which pushes strong northwesterly winds that stir up a wide wave of dust.

This dusty atmosphere requires patients with respiratory and eye diseases to take precautions and follow preventive instructions to prevent any complications. We ask God for safety for all.
