Arab weather - the latest satellite images show a wave of thick dust in the northern border region, with almost no horizontal visibility, as the Arar local airport recorded at the hour of preparing the report (1:30 p.m.) a great lack of horizontal visibility of only 100 meters .

 

During the coming hours, it is expected, God willing, that this wave of dust will rush towards the southeast to directly affect parts of Rafha, Lina and Al-Shu`bah, amid a decrease in the horizontal visibility.

 

It is also not excluded that it will move in the coming hours towards the Hafr Al-Batin region, with less effects of course, and we will provide you with the latest updates as soon as possible.
