Saudi Arabia: The Siberian high air pressure will gradually affect the Kingdom over the coming days and bring a cold wave to most regions

From the Arabia Weather Center - the latest weather maps resulting from what are called computer simulations indicate expectations that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be gradually affected during the coming days by the extension of the so-called Siberian high, coinciding with the days of the Old Man, a period in which cold waves usually come, according to the judgments of the early Arabs.

A cold wave will gradually affect most regions of the Kingdom in the coming days

It is expected, God willing, that the effect of the cold air mass will begin on Tuesday, starting from the north of the Kingdom (the northern border), and its effect will extend on Wednesday to the regions of Al-Jawf, Hail, Al-Qassim, and Hafar Al-Batin, causing temperatures to drop significantly.

The effect of the cold wave deepens in most regions of the Kingdom on Thursday and Friday, except for the western regions, so that temperatures drop below their usual levels by about 5-8 degrees Celsius in the regions of the northern borders, Al-Jawf, Hail, Al-Qassim, Riyadh, and Al-Sharqiyah, and cold weather prevails in these regions. The regions even turn very cold at dawn, with the possibility of frost forming in many parts of the north and north-central part of the Kingdom, as the minimum then approaches zero degrees Celsius.

As for the western regions, especially the coastal parts, they are expected to be immune to the effects of the cold wave, and they are even expected to be affected by warm eastern winds that cause temperatures to rise on the coastal strip. The winds are sometimes strong and lead to dust and dirt and a decrease in horizontal visibility.

God knows.
