Wide sandstorms

Wind gusts touch the 100 km / h mark

In the details, it is expected that the kingdom's airspace will cross a cold air mass coming from the north, in conjunction with the effect of other hot masses on the north and center of the kingdom, which will push, after God's will, strong-speed winds towards all regions of the north, middle and east of the kingdom, and the east of the kingdom, some of its gifts reaching the limits of 100 km / hr , and these winds are capable of forming wide dust waves with a significant decrease in the horizontal visibility.

 

 

Areas most affected by sandstorms and dust waves

 

As for the areas most affected by sandstorms and dust waves, they are all of Al-Qassim, the eastern region, and the general area of Riyadh, as it is expected that the tidal waves in these areas will be dense and strong and rise to the degree of a sandstorm, and the horizontal visibility in them may decrease to the point of absence in some parts, especially on External roads.

 

Al-Jawf, the northern border, and Hail come in the second place in terms of strength, as these areas are expected to witness strong winds accompanied by strong dust waves that significantly reduce the horizontal visibility. Meanwhile, Najran will be moderately affected by this dust wave, and God knows best.
