Hot, dust-laden, northwest wind in the lower valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and in the Persian Gulf. 3, record 2, English, - shamal
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It may set in suddenly at any time, and generally lasts from one to five days, dying down at night and freshening again by day; however, in June and early July it continues almost without cessation (the great or forty-day shamal). Although the wind rarely exceeds 13 m s1 (30 mph), it is very hot, dry, and dusty. The sky is cloudless but the haze is often so thick as to obscure the land, making navigation dangerous. 4, record 2, English, - shamal
