Arab Weather - Satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that Kuwait is being affected by a dust wave coming from Iraqi territory. Generally, the region is experiencing dusty conditions amid a significant drop in horizontal visibility, reaching approximately 400 meters, according to the latest readings from Jahra International Airport.

God willing, northwesterly winds are expected to continue blowing at moderate to brisk speeds throughout the rest of the day, bringing with them dust. The weather will remain dusty with varying intensity, with warnings for respiratory patients and drivers on external roads in particular.

And God knows best.
