Remarkable activity of the northwest wind

In the details, an air high dominates in the north and northwest of the Arabian Peninsula in conjunction with the formation of an air depression over Pakistani territory, where the large difference in atmospheric pressure between both air systems leads to strong northwesterly winds blowing towards the Arabian Gulf through the Emirates to the Sultanate of Oman and the Sea of Oman .

The same winds lead to a high concentration of dust in the atmosphere and possibly a decrease in the horizontal visibility in desert areas, and increase the feeling of cold weather in addition to turbulence in the waters of the Sea of Oman.

This atmosphere requires respiratory and eye patients to beware of exposure to dust and raised dust for fear of complications, and requires drivers to be careful while driving on desert roads in case of low horizontal vision.
