Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - The latest outputs of computer simulation systems for wind movement indicate that the western highlands and some of its coasts will be affected on Thursday and Friday by the blowing of eastern winds that stir up dirt and dust, known locally as Saba winds, which blow specifically from the northern parts of the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region and north of Jeddah, all the way to The northward coast of Al-Wajh, with varying intensity, coincides with the extension of the Siberian high air force and its direct impact on large parts of the center and north of the Kingdom.
These climates require respiratory and eye patients 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 atmosphere. It also requires drivers to be careful and pay attention while driving due to the expected decrease in horizontal visibility.
It is noteworthy that the Saba winds blow when the interior regions of the Kingdom cool, as the Red Sea regions remain warm and far from the influence of cold air masses, which leads to the activity of these winds locally as a result of horizontal temperature differences as well as the difference in atmospheric pressure values.
