Weather of Arabia - Satellite images indicate the presence of sand stirred up in Matrouh Governorate and the western coasts to Alexandria as a result of the activity of the southwest winds, where Alexandria Airport records a significant decrease in the range of horizontal visibility that has reached only 800 meters.

 

This is due to the presence of a deep pentagonal depression affecting the area, and the impact is expected to continue during the coming hours, but with the evening hours, the intensity of these sands decreases, God willing.

 

Therefore, Arab weather warns patients of the respiratory system and eyes not to leave the house except for the utmost necessity and to close windows and doors tightly to prevent dust from entering.
