On July 21 and 22, westerly winds are expected to strengthen to 13-18 meters per second in some areas of Tajikistan, with gusts reaching 20-25 meters per second in some places. The wind will be accompanied by a dust storm and haze, which could reduce visibility on roads, according to the press service of the Hydrometeorology Agency of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.
In addition, heavy rain is forecast in some mountainous regions of the republic on July 21.
Due to the expected precipitation from July 21 to 23, there remains a risk of local mudflows in the foothill and mountainous areas of the districts of republican subordination, Khatlon region, western regions of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, as well as in the Sughd region – in the Ayni district and the city of Penjikent.
According to the Hydrometeorology Agency, deteriorating air quality is expected in cities and districts of Khatlon Region, Districts of Republican Subordination, and Dushanbe from July 21 to 23, as well as in cities and districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region on July 22 and 23. This is due to the influx of dust from southern and southwestern areas into the country.
In these regions, an increase in the concentration of suspended matter in the air is predicted, including particles up to 10 micrometers in size (PM10) and up to 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5).
