Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf -, God willing, the winds of Saba are activated along the western coasts and highlands of the Kingdom, especially the central sector of it, the northeast of Jeddah, and the extension across Yanbu, Rabigh, and Umluj, and reaching the southern parts of Al-Wajh governorate in the Tabuk region.
Saba winds are expected to raise dust locally and with varying intensity from one place to another, which may cause a decrease in the horizontal visibility in the aforementioned areas, especially on the external roads.
This atmosphere requires patients with respiratory system and eyes to follow the necessary preventive measures to deal with such weather conditions to avoid complications, God forbid, due to the high concentration of dust in the airspace, and drivers also require caution and attention during driving due to the expected decrease in the range of horizontal vision.
What are the winds of boyhood?
It is reported that the Saba winds blow when the interior regions of the Kingdom cool, as the Red Sea areas remain warm and far from the influence of the cold air masses, which leads to the activity of these winds locally due to the horizontal thermal differences as well as the difference in the value of the air pressure.
