Strong winds affect the eastern desert, with a warning of sandstorms and possible loss of horizontal visibility.

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images of dust from "Arab Weather" indicate the formation of dense dust waves in various areas of the Badia and desert regions, especially the eastern Badia regions, at this time.

Weather data indicates significant intensification of wind speeds in these areas, accompanied by strong gusts that could lead to the formation of intense sandstorms and possibly a significant loss of horizontal visibility in the coming hours.

This comes as the Kingdom is affected by a Khamaseen depression coming through Egyptian territory, accompanied by clear wind activity, which in turn leads to dust and sandstorms. We at Arab Weather note the following in light of the current weather conditions:

• Monitoring a dust storm that gradually increases in intensity throughout the day, with the atmosphere becoming dusty over time. The dust density increases significantly during the late afternoon and night.
• Horizontal visibility decreased to varying degrees due to dust.
• Dense dust waves form during the afternoon and evening hours.
• Patients with respiratory conditions or allergies are advised to avoid prolonged outdoor activities and to wear masks when necessary.
