Saudi Arabia | New activity of the Saba winds stirring up dust and sand in these areas

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The impact of active easterly winds, known as the Saba winds, is expected to increase over the northern Makkah region and the southern Madinah region on Sunday. This may stir up dust and reduce horizontal visibility in the northern parts of Jeddah.

Warning to respiratory patients about increased dust concentration

These conditions require respiratory and eye patients to follow the necessary preventive measures to deal with such weather conditions in order to avoid complications, God forbid, due to the high concentration of dust in the atmosphere. Drivers also need to be cautious and attentive while driving due to the expected decrease in horizontal visibility.

What are the morning breezes?

It is noted that the Saba winds blow when the interior regions of the Kingdom cool down, while the Red Sea regions remain warm and far from the influence of cold air masses, which leads to the activity of these winds locally as a result of horizontal temperature differences as well as differences in atmospheric pressure.
