Dherar Al-Ali, the supervisor of stations at the meteorological division of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that Recurring dust storms whipping Kuwait in the spring and summer are quite normal considering the country’s location and surrounding desert climate.
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.
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. (KUNA)
