The Meteorology Department warns: Strong winds will hit Mecca and Jeddah, with temperatures approaching 50 degrees Celsius today.

The National Center for Meteorology issued weather alerts for the Makkah region, including Jeddah and the Holy Capital, warning of strong winds stirring up dust and sand that may lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility.

This situation coincides with extremely hot weather in Mecca, where temperatures approach 50 degrees Celsius, increasing the feeling of heat stress during daylight hours.

The center called for caution and monitoring of weather updates, especially with the continued impact of winds and dust coinciding with the heat wave.
