The National Center of Meteorology revealed that the Kingdom recorded a near-zero decline in dust and sand storms during June 2026, the lowest historical rate in over 25 years, with a drop of 99% compared to historical averages. The Northern Borders region recorded a complete decline of 100%, an indicator reflecting a noticeable improvement in air quality and a decrease in dust phenomena. The CEO of the National Center of Meteorology and General Supervisor of the Regional Center for Dust and Sand Storms, Dr. Ayman bin Salem Ghulam, reviewed a report issued by the Regional Center for Dust and Sand Storms for June, stating that the Central region recorded a 99% decrease, including Riyadh, Qassim, and Al-Kharj, while the Eastern region recorded the same percentage, including Al-Ahsa, Dammam, and Dhahran. Data recorded during June showed that dust activity reached its lowest levels compared to historical averages, coinciding with a number of environmental and climate efforts in the Kingdom, foremost among them the Saudi Green Initiative, the cloud seeding program, improved vegetation cover, grazing regulation, in addition to weak atmospheric fronts causing dust and sand during the same period, reflecting a clear improvement in weather conditions. The Regional Center for Dust and Sand Storms continues its monitoring, follow-up, and analysis of spatial and temporal indicators of dust phenomena through an advanced monitoring and forecasting system that includes satellite data, Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) systems, specialized LiDAR systems, advanced numerical models for predicting dust spread, and modern devices for collecting and analyzing dust samples, in addition to a specialized electronic portal for data and research. He pointed out that these capabilities support the development of monitoring, forecasting, and early warning services at the regional and international levels, and contribute to supporting relevant authorities, enhancing preparedness for weather fluctuations, and reducing the impact of dust and sand storms on health, the environment, and economic activities.
