Arab Weather - Computer simulation results in Arab Weather indicate that the Kingdom will be affected on Friday, February 13, 2026, by an extension of a distant low-pressure system that will later be centered south of Turkish territory. God willing, this low-pressure system will cause significant fluctuations in the weather in the Kingdom despite the distance of its center, as it will push in its lead air currents that are much warmer than average on Friday and are laden with quantities of dust. This will be followed, God willing, by a significant drop in temperatures on Friday night/Saturday morning with showers of rain, especially in the northern regions.

In detail, during the daytime hours of Friday, temperatures are expected to continue to rise, becoming about 7-9 degrees Celsius higher than they should be. The weather will be stable in the morning with the appearance of high clouds, and gradually the southwesterly winds will become active and will be laden with quantities of dust, as a result of which the atmosphere will become dusty in all regions and with increasing intensity over time.

Friday afternoon and evening: Monitoring the Kingdom's exposure to a dust storm originating from Egyptian territory during the afternoon, evening, and night hours, ahead of an extension of a low-pressure system.

According to the outputs of computer technologies in Arab Weather, a moderate to dense dust wave will form during the afternoon and evening hours in the Sinai Peninsula within Egyptian territory. It is monitored that this dust wave will approach and affect the Kingdom with varying intensity during the late afternoon and night hours. As a result, the weather will gradually turn dusty, with the possibility that the dust will be dense at times, especially in the southern regions, which may lead to a decrease and perhaps a complete lack of horizontal visibility, particularly during the evening hours of Friday.

Friday night/Saturday morning: A rapid drop in temperatures and an increased chance of showers.

During the night hours of Friday, especially the late hours, it is expected, God willing, that the direction of the wind will change to become northwesterly, which will lead to a rapid and noticeable drop in temperatures compared to the daytime hours, so that the weather will become remarkably cold, while remaining generally dusty.

There is also an opportunity during the night hours for scattered showers of rain at intervals, concentrated in the far north of the Kingdom, and may extend to some central regions. These showers are characterized by their muddy nature, as a result of the atmosphere being polluted with large amounts of dust.

Saturday: A drop in temperatures and a chance of scattered rain in parts of northern and central Saudi Arabia.

The weather will be relatively cold and partly cloudy, with scattered rain possible in some northern and central regions, and light showers are possible in the city of Aqaba at dawn.

The winds will be moderate southwesterly, but they will become active during the afternoon and evening hours and will be accompanied by strong gusts at times, and will cause dust storms in the south and east of the Kingdom and the eastern plains.

Recommendations:

  • Be aware of the reduced and possibly non-existent horizontal visibility on external roads, especially in the south of the Kingdom, due to heavy dust.
  • Exercise caution while driving on Friday evening.
  • Drive carefully on roads where rain is starting to fall and do not speed.
  • Patients with respiratory conditions are advised to avoid direct exposure to dusty environments as much as possible.

And God knows best.
