Arab Weather - The latest outputs of computer maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that large parts of the Kingdom will be affected on Friday afternoon by active westerly winds, which will be strong to very fast in the desert areas and desert roads, where wind gusts are expected to range between 70-90 km/h, especially in desert and exposed areas.

These strong winds are expected to stir up dense dust storms, leading to a significant decrease and possibly zero horizontal visibility on many desert and rural roads.

The main roads expected to be affected by the dense dust storms include:

* Desert Road
* The desert road
Baghdad International Road

Dust storms also affect many internal and secondary roads, and Arab Weather advises drivers to exercise extreme caution while driving, especially with the possibility of a significant decrease in horizontal visibility, in addition to the need to avoid unnecessary travel on desert roads during peak wind activity, especially during the afternoon and evening periods of Friday.

And God knows best.
