Arab Weather - The latest outputs of the weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom will be affected by a cooler air mass starting from Friday evening, which will cause a clear and noticeable drop in temperatures, especially during the night hours.

In detail, nighttime temperatures are expected to drop significantly starting from Friday/Saturday night, with relatively cold to cold weather prevailing in various regions of the Kingdom, especially over the mountainous highlands and eastern plains, with increased surface humidity and the appearance of low clouds.

These conditions are expected to necessitate a return to wearing coats and light winter clothing during the night and early morning hours, following a period of relatively warm weather that the Kingdom has recently experienced.

Weather experts at Arab Weather also warn of the large temperature fluctuations between daytime and nighttime hours, as these play a role in increasing the chances of contracting respiratory diseases and colds, especially among children and the elderly.

During the daytime, the weather will be mild to pleasant in most areas, with increased activity in the speed of the westerly winds, especially on Friday.

And God knows best.
