Arab Weather - The capital, Riyadh, will be affected, God willing, during this night by the peak of the cold wave that the National Center for Meteorology had previously warned about, as temperatures are expected to continue to drop during the coming hours, leading to bitterly cold weather, especially during the late night hours and the dawn and morning of tomorrow, coinciding with the residents going out to work.

It is noted that the Kingdom began yesterday to be affected by the extension of the Siberian high-pressure system, which brings very cold weather and extremely low temperatures, around zero degrees Celsius or several degrees below it in several regions of the Kingdom.

This cold weather requires attention to:

  • It is essential to use safe heating methods that do not cause fires or, God forbid, suffocation.
  • The need to wear winter clothes appropriate for the cold wave that the Kingdom is experiencing
  • Be aware of the increased risk of catching colds, influenza, and bone and rheumatic diseases.
  • Be aware of the high probability of frost formation and freezing, and its negative impact on agricultural crops.
