Arab Weather - The latest computer modeling outputs available through the Arab Weather application indicate that the Kingdom will be affected tonight, God willing, by the peak of the cold wave, as the Siberian high-pressure system pushes colder winds towards the region, leading to extremely cold and harsh weather.

 

Temperatures approaching zero

This includes Hafr Al-Batin, the Northern Borders, the eastern parts of Hail, Al-Qassim, and North Eastern Province.

 

According to the Arab Weather app, very cold weather will prevail in Hafr Al-Batin, the Northern Borders, the eastern parts of Hail and Qassim, in addition to the north of the Eastern Province, where temperatures are expected to reach around zero degrees Celsius or slightly above during the early morning hours of Monday.

 

9 degrees Celsius is expected in Riyadh

The capital, Riyadh, is less affected by the Siberian high-pressure system, experiencing cold weather during the night and early morning, with minimum temperatures reaching around 9 degrees Celsius at sunrise. During the day, temperatures gradually rise, reaching a high of approximately 18 degrees Celsius, while the overall cool conditions persist.
