Saudi Arabia: The dew point drops to 15 degrees Celsius below zero... What does this mean?

Arab Weather - In an indication of a very dry air mass dominating the Kingdom's atmosphere, weather maps indicate expectations of recording very low values for the dew point in the coming nights, reaching about 15 degrees Celsius below zero in some areas, especially the western ones, which are among the lowest values recorded for this season.

The dew point is one of the most important indicators of air humidity. The lower its value, the drier the atmosphere and the lower the humidity levels, which leads to a greater feeling of cold weather, especially at night and in the early morning.

These low values are usually associated with the effect of dry, cold continental winds originating from the northern regions of the Arabian Peninsula, and may lead to cracked skin and dry eyes, especially in exposed areas.

Arab Weather advises taking the necessary precautions, especially for people who suffer from dry skin or respiratory diseases, and following weather forecasts regularly.
