On the vernal equinox, the weather will be cold, cloudy, and stormy, with rain and very cold winds with polar characteristics at night.

Arab Weather - The Spring Equinox is the day on which, according to astronomical calculations, spring begins. The sun is directly over the Earth's equator, and the length of day and night are equal in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The vernal equinox begins in the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday, March 20, 2025. The weather on Thursday is expected to be a cold and rainy winter, God willing.

On Thursday, coinciding with the vernal equinox, the Kingdom will experience cold, stormy, and rainy winter weather at intervals.

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center said that the weather will be wintry on the vernal equinox, as cold winds will increase towards the region, resulting in another noticeable drop in temperatures, becoming 3-5 degrees Celsius cooler than usual. The weather will be cold and partly to mostly cloudy, with occasional rain, God willing. Rain will sometimes extend towards the highlands of Karak and Tafilah, in addition to the northern and eastern Badia.

Recommendations for Thursday:

• Beware of strong winds in the afternoon and evening, and secure flyable property.
• Drive with extreme caution on desert roads due to the possibility of heavy dust storms.
• Beware of flash floods in some northern and central areas.

The low pressure system will move away on Thursday/Friday night, followed by very cold winds with polar characteristics.

During Thursday evening and Thursday/Friday night, the low pressure system will move away from the Kingdom, but it will be followed by very cold winds of polar origin, causing a further and significant drop in temperatures. The weather will become extremely cold, with lows falling below 5 degrees Celsius in many parts of the Kingdom, while they will approach zero degrees Celsius in the peaks of the Shara Mountains.

The weather will remain variable, ranging from partly cloudy to mostly cloudy, with scattered showers of freezing rain and hail, possibly in the form of intermittent snow showers on the northern and southern highlands, especially during the early hours of Friday morning as polar winds flow into the Kingdom.

Recommendations for Thursday/Friday night:

• Safe use of heating devices is recommended.
• Wear heavy winter clothing.
• Beware of large temperature differences.

The low pressure system is accompanied by strong wind speeds.

Strong westerly winds are blowing across the Kingdom, with intense gusts approaching 90 km/h, especially in open and high areas. This will cause dense dust waves to blow across desert roads and eastern plains.
