More sandstorms throughout July, warns meteorologist
Published Date: July 03, 2011

KUWAIT: Residents of Kuwait recovering from last weekend's heavy sandstorms should prepare themselves for more of the same, with further suffocatingly dusty weather set to afflict the country for the rest of July, according to a local meteorologist. "Waves of sandstorms of varying intensities are expected throughout July, with less intensity in the first couple of weeks of the month," said expert meteorologist Saleh Al-Ujairi.

Explaining that the weekend's sandstorms were caused by northwesterly winds blowing from desert areas in Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Al-Ujairi added that this year's unusually heavy sandstorms have several causes, with recent rainless winters, the almost complete lack of vegetation in Kuwait and heavy military activity in desert areas loosening the sand and making it easier for it to be blown away by strong winds being the principal culprits.

The weather forecast is set to improve for Ramadan, however, with Al-Ujairi predicting that the weather would be hot and dry by early August and would remain that way throughout the holy month, with daytime temperatures expected to rise to around 50 degrees Celsius (122? Fahrenheit) for the month.

Meanwhile, the weekend's sandstorms saw movements of shipping traffic in the Gulf suspended for hours, but failed to affected air traffic, with Kuwait International Airport reportedly operating as normal.

The effects on fishing, with fishing vessels prevented from setting out by the almost total lack of visibility in the Gulf, saw fish prices at the local market rise as a result, with some customers complaining that the market inspectors' failure to work weekends meant that the retailers were able to increase their prices without worrying about facing any penalties. - Agencie
