KUWAIT CITY, May 4: The Salmi area in Kuwait experienced a dust storm, followed by rain showers, as the Meteorology Department had earlier issued a warning about strong northwesterly winds exceeding 70 km/h. These winds triggered widespread dust storms, reducing visibility to less than 1,000 meters in some areas, with near-zero visibility in others. The high winds also caused sea waves to rise above 7 feet. In addition to the dust storm, scattered showers, sometimes accompanied by thunder, were forecasted throughout the region.
