Rainy, humid weather and blowing dust expected over the weekend

The Meteorology Department has forecast that the country will be affected by scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderous, along with dust-laden winds and a chance of fog, leading to reduced visibility in some areas. Weather at the end of the week is expected to be hot and humid during the day, and mild and humid at night.

The Acting Director of the Department, Essam Al-Ali, told KUNA that weather maps and numerical models indicate that the country will be influenced by the Sudanese Low, which will lead to the proliferation of low and medium-level clouds accompanied by scattered rainfall, occasionally thunderous, and dust-laden winds causing reduced visibility in some areas.

Al-Ali added that winds will be variable in direction, shifting to southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, with a chance of fog forming in the evening and early morning hours, and visibility gradually improving.
