Dust Storm over Red Sea State, the Nile River State, the east, center, and west parts of the country
A Moderate dust storm is expected to impact the South Red Sea State, the Nile River State, and the eastern, central, and western regions of the country. The storm will be fueled by strong southwestern winds that will stir up large amounts of dust and sand, reducing horizontal visibility to less than 1 kilometer. This will lead to hazardous travel conditions, making it difficult for people to navigate roads and potentially causing disruptions to daily activities. The affected areas can expect a significant deterioration in air quality, with reduced visibility posing a threat to aviation, maritime, and ground transportation. Residents and travelers are advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this period.
