Sandstorm Forecast

Give your viewers the information they need to prepare for sand and dust storms in your region. The StormGeo dust potential index combines factors such as past weather, surface conditions and standard weather forecasts to predict potential storms.

Sand and dust storms appear on regular basis in regions with dry conditions and scarce vegetation with low ability to bind the soil. Small particles are picked up by the wind and travel long distances, the �rst thing you see is often a big wall of sand coming your way. The effect is sometimes devastating for people and property, causing crops to die out and cities to be buried under a thick layer of sand.
