Arab weather - Sinan Khalaf - The dusty mass resulting from the "red" sandstorm continues to affect the east and center of the Kingdom, but the intensity is less than it was during the past hours and yesterday, as it gradually moves towards the southwestern parts of the Kingdom in the form of dusty plankton.

 

The latest readings on horizontal visibility show that it has improved slightly compared to yesterday, as the horizontal visibility range in Dammam and Riyadh at the time of preparing the report is about 800 meters.

 

During the coming hours, a further improvement in the horizontal visibility is expected with the movement of the dust mass towards the southwest, as it is expected to affect the length of the southwestern highlands of the Kingdom in the form of dirt plankton in the atmosphere, limiting the range of horizontal visibility.
