Arab Weather - The latest satellite images in Arab Weather indicate that the Tafila Governorate and the southern regions, including the desert road, are currently affected by a dense dust storm, which has led to a clear decrease in horizontal visibility, reaching zero in some areas.

This dust wave is gradually moving north and northeast, with its effects expected to reach areas of the capital Amman, parts of the central and later eastern regions of the Kingdom in the near future.

Drivers, especially on desert and rural roads, are advised to be careful while driving due to reduced visibility, and respiratory patients should avoid direct exposure to dust as much as possible.

We ask God for safety for everyone.
