What’s the weather like?

Here in the Middle East and parts of North Africa, many ask the question “What is the weather like?” Yes, you need a jacket for the winter, sometimes an umbrella for the rain but many people don't know about the sand storms. If you have allergies or asthma be warned of bringing a face mask to protect from the dust. It's actually very beautiful and amazing but can also be a scary scene. Seeing the skies turn brown and sometimes very bad storms will turn midnight black in the sky. Usually, sandstorms are a precursor to rains. Clouds moving bringing rain also bring dust from the surrounding desert areas. Sandstorms usually come during the fall and spring seasons. However, rain can happen anytime and beforehand usually comes the sand. Stay prepared!
