Arab weather - Sinan Khalaf - Our weather forecasts in Arab weather still indicate that the capital, Riyadh, was affected by unstable weather conditions this evening, Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by the will of God with showers of light and medium thunderstorms.

Weather forecast in Riyadh on Saturday night / Sunday and Sunday night

With the will of God, it is expected that the cold air mass will deepen in the atmosphere of the central and eastern regions of the Kingdom, in conjunction with the presence of tropical humidity coming from the Arabian Sea in the atmosphere of the same region, which will lead to the emergence of thunderstorms and rain in parts of the center of the Kingdom, including the capital Riyadh.

In the coming hours of Saturday / Sunday night, cumulative clouds are expected to multiply and the opportunity gradually develops for separate showers of rain, accompanied by thunder and possibly surface wind activity, and the opportunity of rain continues, God willing, until Sunday afternoon.

Significant drop in temperature

In terms of temperatures, you will witness large and sharp fluctuations, as temperatures are expected to rise significantly on Friday, and the maximum temperature will reach the limits of 30 degrees Celsius, "which is 10 degrees above the general rates for such a time of the year" while It drops sharply on Sunday to a maximum of only 17 degrees Celsius, and falls further at night to 7 degrees Celsius, to prevail in a very cold atmosphere that requires the use of heating devices.

And the staff of forecasts in the Arab weather warns of these large fluctuations in temperature, which would raise the rates of cold and flu diseases, especially in children and the elderly.
