Arab Weather App - God willing, on Thursday, a very cold air mass will cross the atmosphere of the central region of the Kingdom, including the capital Riyadh, reaching the Eastern Province. Temperatures will drop significantly, with highs around 9-11 degrees Celsius. Very cold and generally cloudy weather will prevail, with renewed and intensified rainfall in several areas of the central and eastern regions of the Kingdom. These rains will be heavy at times.

It is also possible that some snow showers will fall on the far north of the Riyadh region during the morning hours of Thursday, for a short period, and will most likely be mixed with rain, God willing.

Stable weather at the end of the week as the Kingdom continues to be affected by the cold air mass

During Friday and Saturday, the weather will stabilize, God willing, while the Kingdom remains under the influence of the cold air mass. The weather will be cold, God willing, during the daytime and very cold at night, especially over the northern regions, God willing.

And God knows best.
