Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that the sandstorm is considered to be of a huge area, with an area of approximately 100 square kilometers, covering an area greater than the entire area of Jordan, resulting from the activity of the south-eastern winds, which work to stir up dust and sandstorms in the Algerian desert regions.
