Strong winds are blowing across the northern Arabian Peninsula and Iraq, with a warning of sandstorms and significantly reduced visibility on Monday.

Arab Weather - The latest weather maps from Arab Weather indicate the possibility of strong winds blowing during the day on Monday across the northern Arabian Peninsula and Iraq. These winds are expected to blow large amounts of dust, creating dense dust waves and possibly sandstorms.

In detail: Arab Weather experts said that an atmospheric disturbance is expected to affect northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq during the daytime on Monday, represented by the rush of a relatively cold air mass in the upper layers of the atmosphere towards northern Saudi Arabia. As a result of the presence of a relatively hot air mass to the east of the Arabian Peninsula, a low-pressure area is expected to form in northeastern Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq due to the atmospheric pressure difference, which will lead, God willing, to strong winds that will stir up dust and dirt.

As a result, dust storms and sandstorms are expected to begin in northern Saudi Arabia and move toward Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and possibly parts of eastern Saudi Arabia, reducing or even eliminating horizontal visibility in some areas.
