The Director of the Meteorology Department, Deputy Director Derrar Al-Ali, stated that the speed of the northwesterly winds will decrease, dust will gradually settle, and horizontal visibility will improve starting tonight.

Al-Ali added, in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), that the country was affected today, Monday, by an extension of a surface low-pressure system, accompanied by a very hot air mass, with light to moderate northwesterly winds that occasionally strengthen, with speeds ranging between 15 and 55 kilometers per hour.

He clarified that the winds stirred up sand and dust, causing horizontal visibility in some areas, particularly open ones, to drop to less than 1,000 meters.
