Arab Weather - The weather maps processed by the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that active westerly to northwesterly winds will blow over most areas of the Badia of the Levant, northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The winds will be accompanied by strong gusts that touch the 90 km/hour barrier, which will lead to the formation of dense dust waves that may reach the level of strong sandstorms during the next two days, God willing.

 

Dust waves and sandstorms cover large areas of northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq

Active to strong westerly winds will blow over Iraq, especially during the daytime hours of Thursday, in many regions, especially the western ones. They will cause dust waves and dense sandstorms to move to many northern regions in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, specifically northern Anbar, Salah al-Din Governorate, and Nineveh, where the weather will be dusty and there will be a significant decrease in horizontal visibility, which may reach the point of non-existence.

 

God knows best.
