Hafar Al-Batin: A wide dust wave will increase in intensity over the coming hours, accompanied by a significant decrease in horizontal visibility.

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The Arab Weather Regional Center is monitoring the latest satellite images showing a powerful dust wave sweeping towards the Hafar Al-Batin region from Iraqi territory. The region is currently experiencing remarkably dusty conditions, with expectations of increased dust density in the coming hours.

The reasons for the formation of this dust wave are due to the activity of the Buwarih winds as a result of the temperature differences and the difference in atmospheric pressure between the north and south of the Arabian Peninsula, which pushes strong winds that blow from southern Iraq and move towards Hafar Al-Batin and the interior parts of the Kingdom later.

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.
