Expected weather conditions in the Kingdom on Saturday, Ramadan 29, coinciding with the sighting of the crescent moon of Shawwal 1446 AH.

Arab Weather - God willing, temperatures are expected to continue rising across various regions of the Kingdom on Friday and Saturday as the Kingdom is affected by warmer-than-usual air currents. Therefore, the weather is expected to be relatively hot to hot across all regions, while remaining moderate in the highlands of the southwest of the Kingdom, in addition to the highlands of the Tabuk region.

On Friday, there is a chance of cumulus clouds forming over parts of the highlands in the southwest of the Kingdom, accompanied by showers of thunder and rain in varying degrees in the afternoon and evening, God willing.

On Saturday, a state of atmospheric instability will affect the north of the Kingdom.

The latest weather maps indicate that the Kingdom will be affected by atmospheric instability on Saturday, Ramadan 29. This is due to relatively cold winds approaching the upper atmosphere in the north of the Kingdom, coinciding with the presence of a warm air mass in the atmosphere near the surface, accompanied by an influx of moisture from the south.

God willing, the Kingdom is expected to be gradually affected by unstable weather conditions during the daytime hours of Saturday, especially after noon and afternoon hours. Clouds will increase at different altitudes, and the opportunity will be created for thunderstorms of generally moderate rain in parts of Tabuk, Al-Jouf and Hail regions, extending later during the evening hours to parts of Madinah and Qassim regions. This will be accompanied by a clear activity in wind speed during the formation of cumulus clouds, with strong gusts that will sometimes cause dust waves in the north of the Kingdom.
