Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from Arab Weather, which monitor dust movement, indicate that large amounts of dust are being stirred up and are currently affecting parts of the Makkah region.

According to the Saudi National Center of Meteorology, a warning has been issued for the Makkah region regarding the possibility of near-zero horizontal visibility in some areas of the region, and the accompanying effects of active wind speeds.

Arab Weather forecasters said the dusty conditions were caused by dust rushing from Sudan into the region due to a pressure gradient, which led to increased wind speeds and dust storms that swept across the Red Sea toward the Kingdom.
