Doha: A formation of dust mass at the Northeastern of the Arabian Peninsula may result in low visibility in Qatar, according to a weather update by Qatar Meteorology Department (QMD).
Latest satellite images (8:45 pm) show the dust mass approaching and it’s expected to affect the country by late-night causing dusty weather and reducing the visibility to less than 2 KM and zero at times.
Last week, Qatar experienced low visibility due to heavy dust which blanketed the country. Horizontal visibility was as low as zero in certain parts of the country during that period. 
Due to this weather condition, QMD urged all citizens and residents to take precautions.
