Arab Weather - The latest outputs of computer models in Arab Weather indicate that active northwesterly winds will blow over both Qatar and Bahrain, and their effects will extend to the United Arab Emirates, during the coming hours of today and tomorrow, Monday, January 26, 2026.

These winds carry large amounts of dust, leading to a significant decrease in horizontal visibility and an increase in the proportions of dust and sand particles in the atmosphere.

Therefore, it is advisable to close windows and limit direct exposure to dust, and to be careful while driving on roads due to dusty conditions. Patients with respiratory and eye conditions are also advised to take the necessary precautions.

And God knows best.
