Videos | A strong sandstorm affects Al-Qassim and turns the fire at night within moments!

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - Activists on the social networking site Twitter documented scenes showing the moment the Qassim region was affected by a strong sandstorm on Saturday afternoon, which turned the day at night and decreased the level of horizontal visibility to 50 meters.

It is noteworthy that many regions of the Kingdom are currently experiencing a state of atmospheric instability, which is working on the formation of thunderstorm clouds in separate areas that have not witnessed any rain for a while, which has worked to disintegrate the soil, and its volatility with the descending winds associated with thunderstorms, which caused the formation of this storm .

Here are some scenes of the Qassim sandstorm today:
