Weather of Arabia - Baghdad International Airport suspended its flights due to the bad weather conditions in the country, and the visibility reached less than 500 m.

(Al-Mamlaka Channel, citing the Iraqi News Agency:)

Among the Arab weather, Iraq is exposed to a deep pentagonal depression that brought strong winds, which in turn led to the formation of sandstorms in large areas of the country, including the capital, Baghdad.

It is worth noting that the Arab Weather Center has issued its updates about the Khamasini depression and warned of heavy dust waves for this day.
