Arabia Weather - A warmer winter than usual, and even the hottest in 20 years. This included what was supposed to be the coldest days of winter, the “winter square.” This is the conclusion of a study published by the National Center of Meteorology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about this year’s winter in the Kingdom. .

In the same context, spokesman for the National Center of Meteorology, Hussein Al-Qahtani, said that all regions of the Kingdom have not exceeded the zero stage yet, and this winter is generally warmer than previous years, explaining the reason for the warmth of this year’s winter is that there is a difference in temperatures during the winter between low and high in a way. Rapidly, this is due to changing wind directions, and temperatures rise with the support of humid southern wind directions, while they decrease again as a result of cold northern winds, which give a feeling of greater coldness.”

Elderly people from the northern border region narrate that the winter of this year’s square is warmer than the past twenty years, and completely different from those years, as the cold was very intense and there are climatic phenomena that were not seen this year, such as the formation of frost and a drop in temperatures to below zero degrees Celsius, and they were repeated. In recent years, this indicates the severity of the cold.

It is noteworthy that the cities and governorates of the Northern Border region record annual records that reach below zero in the winter, snow falls and water freezes, and Turaif Governorate recorded during the period from 2013 to 2022 the coldest Saudi city at 7 degrees below zero, according to the climate records of the National Center of Meteorology.
