Arabian Gulf | A colder-than-usual air mass causes a drop in temperatures and active winds at the end of the week (details)

Arab Weather - Numerical computer simulation models indicate that the Arabian Gulf will be affected by an air mass with colder temperatures than usual at the end of the week, accompanied by a noticeable drop in temperatures in Bahrain and Qatar, passing through the Emirates and northern Oman, and significant activity in the speed of northwesterly winds, leading to an increase in dust and dirt levels in the atmosphere, a decrease in horizontal visibility below the normal limit, and turbulent waves in the Arabian Gulf.

The effect of northwesterly winds on the Arabian Gulf countries

In detail, God willing, northwesterly winds are expected to intensify in all Gulf countries, especially Qatar and the UAE on Thursday and Friday. The winds will be active in speed, accompanied by strong gusts exceeding 60 km/h, leading to an increase in dust levels in the interior and desert areas of these countries, with a decrease in horizontal visibility.

Wind effect on the Sultanate of Oman

The effect of the northwesterly winds extends with less intensity towards the Sultanate of Oman, where the northwesterly winds are expected to be active in the governorates of Al Buraimi, Ad Dakhiliyah, Ad Dhahirah, and Al Wusta, leading to the rise of dust and sand in the desert areas and a decrease in temperatures.

Gulf water surface disturbance

Due to the activity of the northwesterly winds, rough sea waves are expected near the shore, and this increases as we head deeper into the Gulf, where waves may rise above two meters. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid sailing in small boats in the waters of the Arabian Gulf due to rough waves, God willing.

And God knows best.
