Скачать или смотреть Facts about sandstorm

A sandstorm in the Middle East characterized by strong winds that lift and transport fine particles of sand and dust across vast distances. The storms can reduce visibility to near zero, creating a dense, reddish-brown haze that can envelop entire cities and landscapes.
Sandstorms usually arise during the spring and summer months when temperatures are high and the atmospheric pressure is low. The winds can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour), carrying sand and dust that can damage buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure and can pose significant health risks, exacerbating respiratory conditions and contributing to broader environmental issues like soil erosion.
In the Middle East, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran frequently experience these storms due to their vast desert landscapes.
