Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - The latest outputs of computer simulation systems for wind forecasts indicate the possibility of an early activity of the surface wind movement, known locally as the Al-Bawareh winds, as of today, Wednesday.

Al-Bawareh is active early  

Direct effects on the Emirates and dusty weather in some areas

It is expected that the effects of the Al-Bawareh winds and the dusty weather that will accompany them, starting on Wednesday, will affect the United Arab Emirates, so that it is expected that the northwesterly winds will blow with strong gusts at times, raising dust of varying degrees in the internal parts of the country, which will become stronger in the comprehensiveness of Thursday. Its impact is concentrated in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, especially its inner parts and the Empty Quarter region, as it is expected that these areas will witness medium to high density dust, and God knows best.
