A cold air mass affects the Arabian Gulf and a drop in temperatures at this time

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest data from what is called computer simulation indicates that the Arab Gulf countries will be affected by a cold air mass at the end of this week, starting from northwestern Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and gradually extending towards the rest of the regions, accompanied by a decrease in temperatures and a noticeable increase in wind speed.

Cold air mass begins to affect northwestern Saudi Arabia and Iraq on Friday

God willing, it is expected that the northwest of Saudi Arabia and Iraq will be affected on Friday by a cold air mass, so there will be a noticeable drop in temperatures and the weather will become cold in all regions during the daytime hours, and the temperature differences between the north of the Arabian Peninsula and the rest of the regions will become large, which will cause a noticeable activity in the wind speed in the northwest of Saudi Arabia during the passage of the cold air mass, which will lead to the stirring up of dust and dirt to varying degrees.

During the hours of Friday/Saturday night, the effect of the cold air mass extends towards Kuwait, where temperatures drop significantly and the temperature differences between day and night become around 10 degrees Celsius. Clouds increase, as the weather turns from partly cloudy to cloudy, and northwesterly winds become active, with the need to wear warmer clothes.

Gradual extension of the cold air mass towards the rest of the Arabian Gulf countries at the beginning of next week

On Saturday and Sunday, the effect of the cold mass extends to the rest of the Arabian Gulf regions, especially Qatar, Bahrain, eastern Saudi Arabia, reaching the Emirates and northern Oman, which is accompanied by cold, dry, and active winds that noticeably increase the feeling of coldness, and the sea in the Arabian Gulf becomes turbulent, with waves reaching a depth of more than one and a half to two meters.

Cold nights in various Gulf countries, coinciding with the effects of the cold air mass

Night temperatures also drop, making the atmosphere relatively cold, especially during the dawn and early morning hours in inland areas far from marine influences, while they are higher in coastal areas with the appearance of low clouds. It is also recommended to wear warm clothes, especially during the early morning and night hours.

Recommendations

Beware of sharp temperature differences.

Beware of the risk of reduced horizontal visibility due to dust.

Take precautions to combat the effects of dust on the respiratory system and eyes.

Avoid sailing in small boats due to rough seas.

Wear warm clothing, especially at night and early morning.

And God knows best.
