KUWAIT: Ordinary mud storms whipping Kuwait within the spring and summer time are customary making an allowance for the rustic’s location and the wasteland local weather, mentioned Dherar Al-Ali, the manager of stations on the meteorological department of the Directorate Basic of Civil Aviation. Ali advised KUNA that Kuwait’s location within the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula places it in shut proximity with resources of mud, particularly the Iraqi marshlands, Al-Rafidain simple, Iraq’s Western Wilderness, Syria’s rural areas, and the Al-Dahnaa and Al-Dabdaba deserts.

There are native resources of mud too similar to Warba and Boubyan islands and the wasteland area of Al-Habari within the northwest, sand dunes in Al-Huwaimlah and treeless empty areas. The Saudi Al-Dahnaa wasteland brings in reddish mud, Ali mentioned, indicating that some storms are as huge as 200 km – those are rising ones coming basically from the Western Wilderness in Iraq and Al-Rafidain simple. As to storms of a 150-km width, they normally rage at prime velocity and originate from the Iraqi marshes and Wadi Al-Batin. – KUNA
