Saudi Arabia | Warning for easterly winds accompanied by scorching temperatures exceeding 45 in these areas this weekend

Arabia Weather - The weather forecast team at the Arab Regional Weather Center is monitoring the possibility that the northern and central parts of the Tihama region in the western sector of the Kingdom will be affected on Saturday by very dry and hot eastern winds.

It is expected that these winds will be accompanied by a significant and tangible rise in temperatures and the dominance of a scorching atmosphere, during which maximum temperatures exceed the 45 degree Celsius barrier, including the interior parts of the coastal strip of the Tabuk and Medina regions.

These winds are known locally as the Saba winds, and they blow when the interior regions of the Kingdom are affected by a less hot air mass, as the Red Sea regions remain hotter, which leads to the activity of these winds locally as a result of horizontal thermal differences as well as the difference in atmospheric pressure values.
