Arab Weather - A massive sandstorm began forming today in northern Saudi Arabia and is moving toward most of Iraq. The storm is likely to impact air traffic and reduce visibility, but many questions are being raised about whether the sandstorm will affect Jordan.

 

The answer to these questions can be conclusively stated by stating that the sandstorm will not reach Jordan, God willing. The sandstorm will not have any impact on the Kingdom, given the direction of the winds coming from the eastern Mediterranean, which prevents any dust from advancing into the Kingdom's cities.

 

Where will the sandstorm continue its journey?

In the coming hours, the sandstorm is expected to intensify and move toward Kuwait and northeastern Saudi Arabia, God willing. This will be accompanied by a significant increase in dust levels, leading to reduced or no horizontal visibility, in addition to strong winds that will disrupt sea waves.

 

And God knows best.
