Saudi Arabia | Due to temperature differences, Saba winds top the most prominent weather phenomena affecting the Kingdom this week

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - God willing, the Saba winds are expected to become active and return to the forefront of weather events in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting from Tuesday until the end of the week at least, and as usual, their impact will include scattered parts of the eastern and northern parts of the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region and parts of the Tabuk and Madinah regions in addition to the coastal parts of it.

The activity of these winds will cause dust and dirt to rise with varying intensity in some areas, which will lead to a significant decrease in horizontal visibility , especially on external roads in the mentioned areas.

These conditions require patients with respiratory and eye diseases to follow the necessary preventive measures to deal with such weather conditions to avoid complications, God forbid. They also require drivers to be careful and attentive while driving due to the expected decrease in horizontal visibility.

It is noteworthy that the morning winds blow when the interior regions of the Kingdom cool down as a result of the rush of cooler air masses coming from the north, while the Red Sea regions remain warm and away from the influence of cold air masses, which leads to the activity of these winds locally as a result of the horizontal temperature differences, as well as the difference in the value of atmospheric pressure.
