The Early Warning Center in Hadramout Governorate announced the formation of a wide dust block accompanied by a sandstorm over the airspace of the Arabian Gulf and Iraq, amid expectations that it moves south towards the deserts of the country during the coming days, and that with a lighter impact.

The center explained that the numerical models indicate that the dust wave will gradually head towards Yemeni lands during the next 72 hours, as the situation is still under accurate follow -up.

The Center emphasized that the possible effects include a decline in the horizontal visibility and high levels of stuck dust, especially in the open and desert areas, calling on citizens, especially patients with respiratory problems, to be careful and adhering to health guidelines.

He also indicated that updates related to the movement of dust mass will be issued successively according to climate developments.
