Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Center indicate a dense dust wave rushing from Egyptian lands towards the eastern Mediterranean basin, where this wave is currently affecting large parts of Egypt, especially Cairo and Alexandria, in addition to areas of the eastern Mediterranean.

Computer simulations of wind and dust movement in the coming hours indicate that the dust is expected to reach Palestine first, then move later towards the Kingdom, arriving in the evening and early night.

Therefore, a gradual and increasing increase in dust levels is expected during the evening and night hours, particularly in the western regions of the Kingdom, where the weather will become dusty to varying degrees. Simultaneously, winds are expected to pick up significantly in the eastern desert regions, leading to localized dust storms in those areas.

And God knows best.
