The Meteorology Department has forecast strong winds starting tonight and could continue till Friday evening.
The condition is attributed to high pressure extending from northwest of Saudi Arabia associated with fresh to strong northwesterly winds.

The dust winds are expected to reduce the horizontal visibility. Some scattered clouds are also expected. Temperature will be at the regular range with the maximum between 30 - 32 degree Celsius and the minimum at 19 - 22 degree Celsius.
