• Rainfall: Around to below average.
• Temperatures: Around average.
• Flash floods: Low.
• Snow: Low (on southern peaks).
• Weather pattern description:
• Ramadan is expected to begin with colder conditions (Thursday) compared with the past few days, while the weather generally remains stable. Temperatures are then expected to rise again on the 2nd and 3rd days of Ramadan.
• Around the 5th and 6th of Ramadan, signals increase for a chance of the region being affected by a low-pressure system, accompanied by temperatures returning to near average and higher chances of scattered rainfall in several areas, God willing.

Week 2 (8–14 Ramadan 1447 AH) | 26 Feb–4 Mar 2026

• Rainfall: Around to below average.
• Temperatures: Around to colder than average.
• Flash floods: Moderate (in the north).
• Snow: Low to moderate (on high mountain peaks).
• Weather pattern description: The Levant, including the Kingdom, is expected to remain under the influence of a cooler-than-usual air mass, bringing cold conditions both by day and by night. There is also a chance for scattered rain to renew at the beginning of this period (8th and 9th of Ramadan), especially in northern areas and parts of the central region, and it may recur again in a scattered manner toward the end of the period.

Week 3 (15–21 Ramadan 1447 AH) | 5–11 Mar 2026

Rainfall: Below average.
Temperatures: Warmer than average.
Flash floods: Low.
Snow: None.
Weather pattern description:
The Kingdom will be affected by a high-pressure system throughout all atmospheric layers this week, leading to generally warmer-than-usual conditions. This is linked to expectations of successive low-pressure systems pushing west of the European continent toward the Maghreb countries.

Rainfall: Around average.
Temperatures: Around average.
Flash floods: Moderate to high.
Snow: Low.
Weather pattern description:
Atmospheric waves are expected to speed up, causing sharp weather fluctuations over the Kingdom. This includes an earlier-than-usual approach of Khamsini-type lows, bringing a noticeable rise in temperatures at first, followed by thermal inversions, with a possibility of thunderstorm rainfall in some areas.
