Warning of heavy dust waves in the desert areas in the south and east of the Kingdom, including the desert road area

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate a noticeable activity of westerly winds accompanied by strong gusts that stir up dust waves in areas of the south and east of the Kingdom, including parts of the desert road area that connects the capital, Amman, to the southern regions.

A noticeable increase in wind speed on Wednesday night and Thursday day, accompanied by strong gusts.

God willing, with the deepening of the low pressure system during the hours of Wednesday/Thursday night and Thursday dawn and day, there is expected to be a noticeable increase in surface wind speed, as it will be strong, especially during the afternoon and evening, and will be accompanied by strong gusts at times that may exceed 100 km/h in the southern desert and mountains. Dust waves and dust storms are expected in the southeast and east of the Kingdom, especially in areas that have not witnessed rainfall. The phenomenon of moving sand on desert roads is also not excluded as a result of the high wind speed.

The Arab Weather website advises the necessity of securing lightweight and volatile objects from the roofs of houses, and it is also recommended to reduce speed while driving on roads that witness a decrease in horizontal visibility due to dust.

And God knows best.
