Khamsin winds are strong, dry, and dusty winds that blow across parts of the Middle East and North Africa, particularly Egypt, Israel, and Palestine. They are named after the Arabic word "khamsin," which means "fifty," because they are typically associated with the period of 50 days that begins in late March or early April and ends in May. Khamsin winds are characterized by their high temperatures, low humidity, and strong gusts, and they can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph). They are most commonly associated with the summer months, but they can occur at any time of the year. Khamsin winds can cause dust storms, sandstorms, and other forms of air pollution, and they can be harmful to people's health.
