JEDDAH: Saudi health chiefs issued an alert on Monday amid freak weather conditions in the Kingdom’s western region.
A sandstorm engulfed Jeddah, while 70km away in Makkah there was torrential rain and hail.
Meteorology chiefs had initially predicted a thunderstorm in Jeddah, but at 6.15pm they warned that sand and dust would sigificantly reduce visibility. The Saudi Red Crescent Authority urged motorists and residents to take care, and spokesman Abdullah Abu Zaid, said that people with respiratory diseases should avoid going out.
