Recurring dust storms whipping Kuwait in the spring and summer are quite normal considering the country’s location and surrounding desert climate, said Dherar Al-Ali, the supervisor of stations at the meteorological division of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.<\/p>\n
Al-Ali, interviewed by KUNA, said Kuwait’s location in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula puts it in close proximity with dust resources, namely the Iraqi marshy lands, Al-Rafidain plain, Iraq’s western Sahara, Al-Sham rural regions, Al-Dahnaa desert and Al-Dabdaba.<\/p>\n
There are local sources of dust such as Warba and Boubyan islands and the desert region Al-Habari in the northwest, the sand dunes in Al-Huwaimlah and the plant free empty spaces.<\/p>\n
The Saudi Al-Dahnaa desert sends in reddish dust, he said, indicating that some storms are as wide as 200 kilometers — these are emerging ones coming mainly from the western sahara in the Iraq and Al-Rafidain plain.<\/p>\n
As to the storm of a 150 kms width, it usually rages at high speed and originates from the Iraqi marshes and Al-Baten valley.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
