The Siberian high extends over Saudi Arabia, and the weather will noticeably get colder for the rest of the week.

Arab Weather - The latest weather forecasts, based on computer models, indicate that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be gradually affected in the coming days by the extension of what is known as the Siberian high, starting from the northern regions and reaching the central region, including the capital, Riyadh, with the second half of the week, God willing.

The Siberian high begins to affect northern Saudi Arabia and extends to the rest of the regions

In detail, Saudi Arabia will be affected, starting from the northern regions, by the extension of the so-called Siberian high pressure system during the evening and night hours of Monday/Tuesday until the end of the week, including the Northern Borders region and the regions of Al-Jawf, Hail, Qassim and Hafar Al-Batin, which will lead to a noticeable drop in temperatures, turning into very cold temperatures during the night and early morning hours with the possibility of frost forming in large parts of the north and north of the Kingdom, where minimum temperatures approach zero degrees Celsius near the ground surface, and are lower than that in the northwestern parts.

The cold wave will deepen for the rest of the week and include most regions of the Kingdom

In the second half of the week, the cold wave will deepen to include most regions of the Kingdom, except for the western regions, where temperatures will drop by 4-6 degrees Celsius below their normal rates in Riyadh and the Eastern Region. Colder than usual weather will prevail in these regions, and may turn very cold at night and early morning hours, especially in the north of Riyadh, God willing.

As for the western regions, especially the coastal parts, it is expected that they will remain far from the impact of the cold wave, as they will be affected by warm easterly winds that will lead to a rise in temperatures on the coastal strip, with temperatures reaching thirties, with strong winds that may stir up dust and dirt and lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility.

And God knows best.
