Saudi Arabia | The first autumn mass rushes into the Kingdom, with winter cold in the Tabuk Mountains.

The Arab Weather app indicated in its latest update issued this morning, Thursday, September 24, 2025, that large parts of northern Saudi Arabia will be affected by more moderate weather over the weekend. This coincides with the arrival of an autumnal air mass coming from the eastern Mediterranean basin towards the region, accompanied by rainfall and a drop in temperatures.

Drop in temperatures

Includes Tabuk, Arar and Sakaka

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather app reported that although rain hasn't reached the northern regions of Saudi Arabia, temperatures will drop significantly in some areas over the weekend, particularly in parts of Al-Jawf and the Northern Borders, including Sakaka and Arar. The weather will be relatively hot during the day and moderate to relatively cool at night.
