Arab Weather - The Arab Weather Regional Center is closely monitoring weather developments related to the early resumption of seasonal Al-Bawarih winds starting Tuesday, bringing active winds and sometimes strong gusts, along with accompanying dust waves, to five Arab countries: Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the western parts of the UAE.

Strong winds threaten to blow dust waves towards five Arab countries.

In detail, the latest weather analysis indicates that the "Bawarih" winds will start from southern Iraq starting Tuesday, where active northwesterly winds will blow, with some gusts reaching up to 70 km/h. These strong winds will stir up dust and sand, pushing it towards Kuwait and then to the eastern regions of Saudi Arabia.

Monitor daily activity of strong winds expected until the end of the week.

According to computer simulation maps, the gale-force winds are expected to continue daily, peaking on Thursday. The intensity and area affected will vary from day to day, particularly in southern Iraq, Kuwait, and parts of Saudi Arabia. Arab Weather will provide you with the latest forecasts in subsequent reports.

Recommendations:

  • Drive with caution due to poor visibility caused by dust.
  • People with respiratory and eye conditions should take precautions and avoid going out in dusty conditions.
  • It is recommended to postpone vehicle washing in affected areas in anticipation of expected dust.
