Arab Weather - The Arab Weather Regional Center is closely monitoring weather developments related to the early onset of seasonal Al-Bawarih winds, starting Saturday, pushing active and sometimes strong winds and accompanying dust waves towards three Arab countries: Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.

 

The storms awaken again, threatening to push dust waves towards three Arab countries.

Latest weather analysis indicates that the al-Bawarih winds will begin to take off on Saturday from southern Iraq in the afternoon. Active northwesterly winds will blow, with some gusts reaching 70 km/h, causing dust storms to blow towards Kuwait and then to the eastern parts of Saudi Arabia with varying intensity.

 

Monitor daily activity of strong winds expected until the end of the week.

Meteorologists are monitoring the latest computer simulation maps indicating a high probability that the bwareh winds will continue to be active daily over southern Iraq, Kuwait, and parts of Saudi Arabia until the end of the week, albeit with varying intensity and coverage from one region to another.

 

Recommendations:

  • Drive with caution due to poor visibility caused by dust.
  • People with respiratory and eye conditions should take precautions and avoid going out in dusty conditions.
  • It is recommended to postpone vehicle washing in affected areas in anticipation of expected dust.
