Arab Weather - Active southeasterly winds are blowing over Iraq in wide and varied areas of Iraq, intensifying during the afternoon and after the afternoon hours, and the active winds are accompanied by strong gusts that sometimes exceed 60 km/hour in various areas of the country.

Dust waves in several areas of Iraq at the moment

Given the lack of rainfall in large areas of Iraq during the past period, which means that the soil is dry and disintegrating, coinciding with the active winds, satellite images indicate the formation of dust waves in several areas of Iraq, including the capital, Baghdad.

In light of the expected weather conditions, the Arab Weather website advises the need to be aware of the risk of dust waves forming or high levels and concentrations of dust in the atmosphere, which leads to a decrease in horizontal visibility and the risk of complications, God forbid, for patients with respiratory and eye diseases.

And God knows best.
