Arab weather - The various regions of northern, central and southern Iraq, including the capital, Baghdad, are affected by a strong sandstorm that has caused a sharp deterioration in the range of horizontal visibility, which has reached the point of non-existence in some areas amid suffocating and annoying.

All eyes are on Kuwait in the coming hours

According to the weather maps processed by the Arab Regional Weather Center, it is expected that the sandstorm will move gradually during the coming hours, specifically the afternoon period towards the State of Kuwait, accompanied by strong northwesterly winds and a gradual and significant increase in the proportion of dust in the atmosphere, which causes a decrease in the level of horizontal visibility and perhaps its absence.

Therefore, the Arab Weather website advises the need to pay attention and take the necessary precautions, such as closing the windows and avoiding driving on the external roads during the sandstorm.
