Saudi Arabia: Weather fluctuations affect the Kingdom on Saturday (rains in the north and dust waves affecting several regions, including Riyadh)

From the Arabia Weather Center - the latest weather maps resulting from so-called computer simulations indicate expectations that many regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will include weather fluctuations on Saturday, February 24, represented by chances of rainfall of varying intensity, concentrated in the northern regions, in addition to activity in surface winds. Which causes dust storms in several regions, including Riyadh.

Rain covers many regions of the Kingdom and is concentrated in the north on Saturday

It is expected, God willing, that a depression in the high air layers will gradually approach the northeast of the Kingdom on Saturday, coinciding with an influx of tropical humidity from the south, so that unstable weather conditions will arise, accompanied by the appearance of quantities of clouds at different altitudes over several parts of the north and center of the Kingdom.

Chances of rain begin in parts of the Tabuk region during the hours of Friday/Saturday night and gradually extend on Saturday morning to the Al-Jawf region and successively towards the northern borders. These rains are mostly sporadic in nature, but they may be heavy in some narrow geographical areas and accompanied by Thunder occurs at that time.

It is possible that some rainfall will extend later on Saturday afternoon and evening to parts of the Hail and Qassim regions, especially the northern and eastern regions, in addition to the northern eastern region and Hafar Al-Batin, and it may be heavy in parts of the governorate at times.

It is not unlikely that some very scattered rain clouds will affect parts of the central eastern region at dawn and Sunday morning.

Active winds cause dust waves in several parts of the Central District, including the capital

As a result of the large temperature difference between the cold air masses coming from the north and the warm ones from the south, it is expected that the northeastern surface winds will be active over large parts of the east and center of the Kingdom and cause dust and dust, and reach the point of forming dust storms in the Riyadh region. Especially including the capital, which leads to a noticeable decrease and perhaps almost non-existence of horizontal visibility, especially during the evening and night hours of Saturday.

A drop in temperatures in large areas of the Kingdom early next week

The cold air mass rushing from the northeast causes a significant drop in temperatures starting in the northern regions on Saturday and quickly extending to the central and eastern regions on Sunday and Monday, including the capital, Riyadh.

God knows.
