Dubai: The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has forecast a sandstorm to come to the UAE on Friday. The storm is expected to create a visibility of less than 500 meters, reports Gulf media.
The sandstorm will erupt in Iraq and travel through Kuwait to hit the UAE on Friday, gripping the country for two days.
Wind speeds of 25-35 knots are expected.
In Saudi Arabia, too, a government met centre warned that the kingdom would be hit by extreme climatic conditions over the coming three days.
Meanwhile, experts at a seminar on Wednesday spoke about the nature and possible consequences of a sandstorm.
