Here are three key points on how the extremely cold air mass will affect the Kingdom.
Arab Weather - Computer map outputs at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom will be affected, God willing, during Sunday and Monday by a cold wave resulting from the rush of a very cold air mass towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, which leads to a decrease in temperatures to levels closer to what they are during the winter period, and this air mass is preceded by a low-pressure system classified as first degree (the lowest).
Scattered showers are expected to continue throughout Saturday afternoon and evening, preceding the cold wave.
God willing, on Saturday afternoon and evening, March 8, 2026, there is a continued chance of scattered showers in various parts of the Kingdom, particularly in the northern and eastern regions, as a result of the Kingdom being affected by a first-degree low-pressure system, which is the weakest or lowest degree in the scale of classification of low-pressure systems adopted by Arab Weather.
Here are three key points on how the extremely cold air mass will affect the Kingdom.
- A noticeable drop in temperatures, becoming several degrees Celsius below their usual averages for this time of year, especially at night.
- Very cold weather is expected during the night and early morning hours in most areas, requiring the wearing of warmer clothing.
- There is an increased chance of frost formation in many areas, including desert regions, eastern plains, and mountain peaks, including agricultural areas and vehicle structures, God willing.
And God knows best.
