Kuwait: Kuwait witnessed a sand storm with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, which prompted students to go home from school, while several banks and companies halted their work day and dismissed their staff for the day. Kuwait University postponed all tests on Monday as well and cancelled most of its scheduled lectures and classes.
Operations at the ports and the airport stopped due to lack of vision, and flights were detoured to other neighboring countries.
Authorities at the Meteorological Department at the state Directorate General of Civil Aviation and expert meteorologists warned that the sandstorm will continue and gain power today (Tuesday), where they expect that the dust will be heavier and vision to be near zero.
The experts advise all residents who suffer from allergies and asthma or any respiratory conditions to stay at home and to take precautionary measures when exposed to the weather.
