Arab weather - A huge mural sandstorm began to form on Sunday evening in the east of the Syrian territories and moved since this morning towards most areas of Iraq, disrupting air navigation and the lack of horizontal visibility, but many questions arise about the arrival of any effects of the sandstorm on Jordan.

And the questions can be assured by answering them that the sandstorm will not reach Jordan, God willing, and there will be no effects of the sandstorm on the Kingdom due to the direction of the winds coming from the eastern Mediterranean, which prevents any dust from advancing to the cities of the Kingdom.

Where will the sandstorm complete its destination?

The sandstorm is expected in the coming hours to move towards the State of Kuwait and eastern Saudi Arabia, God willing, accompanied by a significant increase in dust rates, which leads to a decline and absence of a decrease and lack of horizontal visibility, in addition to strong winds that will disturb the sea waves.

God knows.
