Saudi Arabia: Thunderstorms, rain, and dust expected in these areas tomorrow

Arab Weather - Weather maps in Arab Weather indicate that the northern regions of Saudi Arabia will be affected tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28, 2026, by a cold air mass coming from the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, where temperatures will drop in Al-Jawf, the Northern Borders, Tabuk, reaching parts of Hail, and the weather will become cold, coinciding with the activity of winds that stir up dust and sand.

At the same time, warmer air currents are pushing towards the rest of the regions, including Riyadh, causing maximum temperatures to rise to the mid-20s Celsius in various regions.

At the same time, computer simulations indicate the emergence of unstable weather conditions, especially during the afternoon and evening hours, where cumulonimbus clouds are expected to form, accompanied by showers of varying intensity over parts of: Al-Qassim, Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the northern part of the Eastern Province.

Rainfall will vary in intensity and be accompanied by active to strong downdrafts that may stir up dust and sand locally, which calls for caution, especially on open roads and during periods of thunderstorm activity.

And God knows best.
