Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Center indicate the formation of a dust wave in the northwestern regions of Saudi Arabia, specifically in the border areas near Jordan.

This dust wave is moving towards Jordan in the coming hours, leading to an increasing percentage of dust in the atmosphere.

According to current data, the impact of dust is expected to increase during the afternoon and evening hours, resulting in dusty weather in many areas of the Kingdom, including the capital Amman, the eastern desert regions, and desert roads.

Patients with respiratory and eye conditions are advised to take the necessary precautions and avoid direct exposure to dust as much as possible. Drivers are also advised to pay attention while driving and to drive vehicles carefully, especially on desert roads that may experience a decrease in horizontal visibility due to dust.

And God knows best.
