Frozen fog in the far north of Saudi Arabia at dawn and early Thursday

Weather of Arabia - A very cold weather prevails throughout the weekend in all regions of northern and central Saudi Arabia due to a very cold Siberian air mass that drove on Tuesday from the Levant region towards the north of the Kingdom.

Aerial maps indicate that the coldest air mass remains in control of large areas of the Kingdom during the coming days, but the presence of the cold mass will coincide with a rise in surface moisture levels in the far north of the Kingdom at dawn on Thursday, and therefore it is expected that freezing fog will form in the northern regions of the Al-Jawf region and The northern borders, which include the cities of Turaif and Qurayyat.

How does frigid fog happen?

Freezing fog occurs when fog is formed at temperatures below 0 ° C. Fog molecules freeze and adhere to nearby solids, whether soil, trees or plants, forming white crystal crystals.
