Dust-raising winds to reduce visibility across Saudi Arabia through Saturday

RIYADH — Dust-raising surface winds are expected to remain active across several regions of Saudi Arabia from Monday through Saturday, potentially reducing horizontal visibility, according to the National Center for Meteorology (NCM). Throughout July 6 to 11, active daytime surface winds are forecast to affect the Eastern Province, as well as parts of the Northern Borders, Qassim, Riyadh, and Madinah regions. The NCM also expects dust-raising surface winds to persist along the coastal road stretching from Yanbu to Jazan from Monday through the end of the week, potentially reducing or lowering horizontal visibility to near zero in some areas.
