Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Center indicate the detection of a new dust wave that started this morning from Libyan lands towards the Mediterranean Sea, and is currently moving eastward, where it has reached close to the Palestinian territories.

God willing, this dust wave is expected to reach Palestine with the westerly winds, then extend directly to the Kingdom, especially during the evening and night hours, where dust levels in the atmosphere are expected to rise again, and the weather will become increasingly dusty in many areas during the coming hours.

Therefore, it is advised to close the windows and wear masks for patients with respiratory and eye conditions, in order to avoid any possible complications.

According to computer simulations, dust particles are expected to remain in the atmosphere on Sunday, coinciding with a chance of some muddy rain showers in parts of northern Saudi Arabia, and possibly affecting some limited areas in central Saudi Arabia.

And God knows best.
