KUWAIT, May 22 (KUNA) -- The current sandstorm and shifting weather
conditions is expected to continue for the next couple of days, said a weather
forecaster here Tuesday.
Head of weather forecast at the Directorate General for Civil Aviation
Mohammad Karam told KUNA that the northern to northwest winds are carrying a
huge quantity of sand, resulting in a sandstorm that is expected to prevail
for the upcoming days.
Visibility would be low in the country, said the official who added that on
the bright-side, the sandstorm would help decrease the hot summer temperature
in Kuwait.
Karam urged people to steer away from the sea due to strong wind movement
and high waves. (end)
