Hey guys...! Hope all are doing well today. 2 days back we had a very hugh dust storm not only in kuwait but also whole of the gulf region. Kuwait frequently experiences dust storms due to its desert climate. These storms can lead to poor air quality, reduced visibility, and health issues. For instance, a severe dust storm in May 2022 led to flight suspensions at Kuwait International Airport. ?? Health Impacts Dust storms can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. A study in Kuwait found that dust storm particulate matter (PM) can cause airway inflammation and may contribute to the development of asthma . ?? Safety Tips During Dust Storms Stay Indoors: Limit outdoor activities to reduce exposure. Seal Windows and Doors: Prevent dust from entering your home. Use Air Purifiers: Improve indoor air quality. Drive Cautiously: If caught in a dust storm while driving, pull over safely, turn off lights, and wait for conditions to improve. Understanding the causes and effects of dust storms can help mitigate their impact on health and daily life.

That's scary does it mean that Kuwait always experiences dust storm? It's crucial to drive.

@Mshafeeq OMG, it's horrible. Even if you wear double edge glasses, the dust will not be unstoppable.
