Arab weather - It is expected that the Kingdom will be affected today by dust waves at intervals in several regions resulting from the activity of wind speed resulting from the deepening of the Red Sea depression.

And the reports of Arab weather delegates show that with the morning hours of Saturday 13/11/2021, the desert road starting from the airport intersection is witnessing dense dust waves that impede walking on these roads as a result of the significantly reduced horizontal visibility.

And the weather maps in the Arab Weather Center still indicate that an expected deepening of the so-called Red Sea depression towards the Kingdom in conjunction with the intensification of an extension of the Siberian High is expected to occur over Iraq and the Badia of the Levant, which means that the regions of the Levant will be affected by volatile weather during the next two days .

Strong winds and dust

It is expected, God willing, that cold, dry, brisk easterly to southeasterly winds will continue, accompanied by strong gusts today, Saturday, and Saturday/Sunday night and Sunday.

It is not excluded that wind gusts will reach more than 70 km/h, especially in the high mountainous heights, Shafa Ghouria areas, the Dead Sea, the Shara Mountains, and some desert areas.

It is expected that the winds will cause dust waves at intervals that affect the cities of the Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays and cause a decrease in the horizontal visibility.

Strong winds are concentrated in the Dead Sea, the Shafa Ghoria and the Jordan Valley

It is expected that the speed of the eastern wind will double when it blows over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the Shafa areas, because when the wind blows from the eastern side to the western side, this wind rises above the western mountainous heights and then descends and descends very quickly from those heights towards areas The Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea, and it acquires additional speeds when it descends from the slopes of the western mountains towards the Jordan Valley, due to the large geographical differences in altitude above sea level between the high mountains and the low valleys.

As a result, the Arab Weather Center alerts farmers of the dangers of the impact of these eastern winds on greenhouses and crops in the Jordan Valley or Shafa Ghoria regions. It is also recommended to install external holdings.
