The Department of Meteorology has said that strong northwesterly winds are likely to blow in the country from Wednesday (March 4, 2026) until the weekend. This has been clarified in the department’s latest daily weather report.

The winds from the northwesterly direction are likely to blow at a moderate to strong rate. As the winds strengthen, dust storms are likely in many parts of the country. The report warns that the rise of dust particles in the atmosphere will cause a significant reduction in horizontal visibility in some areas. Motorists and those going out should exercise special caution as adverse weather conditions and visibility are likely to occur.
