The presence of a deep depression in the north of the Libyan lands formed sandstorms and gradually moved them towards the Egyptian lands.

• Later, the storm moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Levant, and it was in the form of strong winds and heavy rain. The impact of the storm intensified on Saudi lands, so it worked to wander from day to night due to the severity of the storms.
