Are there many sandstorms in the Middle East all year round?

There are many sandstorms in the Middle East all year round. According to relevant public information, the Middle East is located in the subtropical zone, and the subtropical high is a dynamic high, which is a downward flow formed by the continuous flow of air over the equator and accumulated over the subtropical zone, which increases the low-level air pressure and belongs to warm high pressure. The subtropical weather is sunny and dry, mainly because of the prevailing downdraft. Controlled by the dry trade winds, the Middle East is characterized by scarce precipitation and dry climate, which is easy to form deserts. Trade winds are directional winds blowing from subtropical high to equatorial low. Due to the rotation of the earth, the wind direction in the northern hemisphere shifts to the right and becomes the northeast trade wind. In the subtropical region of the northern hemisphere, the west coast of the mainland is on the leeward side of the northeast trade wind, and the east coast of the mainland is on the windward side of the northeast trade wind. In this way, the precipitation on the west coast of the Middle East continent is scarce, the climate is dry and there are deserts.
