Strong wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h were observed, and this is the date when their intensity will decrease (details)

Arab Weather - The latest data from weather stations indicate a noticeable increase in wind speeds during the day, as strong wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h were recorded at the Ma'an monitoring station, especially over the high southern mountainous heights. The strong and cold winds resulted in the formation of dense dust waves that reached the level of a sandstorm in the southeastern and eastern regions of the Kingdom, specifically the Desert Road area.

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

God willing, strong winds are expected to continue blowing in the coming hours, accompanied by strong gusts that may sometimes exceed 100 km/h in the southern desert and mountainous areas. 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 ruled out as a result of the high wind speed.

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

Winds will decrease in intensity on Thursday/Friday night, but will remain active, especially in the southern regions.

As the low pressure system moves towards northern Iraq, wind speeds will gradually decrease on Thursday/Friday night, while remaining active in the southern highlands of the Kingdom, accompanied by strong gusts at times in those areas, God willing.

God knows best.
