Arab Weather - Modern technical models in Arab Weather indicate that the Kingdom, God willing, will be affected in the coming days by an atmospheric pattern known scientifically as the “Omega Block” pattern, which is represented by the positioning of a high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the Kingdom and the surrounding countries, which is met by atmospheric depressions that are pushing towards the west and center of the European continent and others towards East Asia.
This weather pattern, God willing, will hinder the movement of the usual weather systems, which will contribute to the prevalence of relatively stable weather and higher temperatures compared to the general averages for this time of year, especially at the beginning of next week. However, this weather pattern does not necessarily mean that the chances of rain will disappear completely.
The opportunity remains, God willing, for some limited local rainfall on Friday and Saturday, without this situation being classified as a winter weather system or a major classified weather event.
In detail, God willing, temperatures are expected to rise on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, with generally sunny and stable weather during the daytime. The weather will be relatively cold over the mountainous highlands and pleasant in the low-lying areas during the afternoon and evening hours, while remaining cold during the night.
On Thursday, February 5, 2026, God willing, an additional rise in temperatures is expected, to become several degrees Celsius higher than the average for this time of year. The weather will be cold in the morning hours due to the occasional activity of easterly winds, then it will become pleasant to moderate during the afternoon and evening hours, with generally sunny skies.
On Friday, February 6, 2026, forecasts indicate the appearance of medium and high clouds. Although temperatures will remain above average for this time of year, there is a possibility, God willing, of local, random rainfall in some areas.
On Saturday, February 7, 2026, temperatures are expected to drop slightly, with the weather being relatively cold in general, with a possibility of limited rain showers in some northern areas.
With Saturday and Sunday, and the beginning of next week, temperatures are expected to rise significantly, God willing, becoming higher than their general averages for this time of year by a difference that may exceed 7 degrees Celsius. The weather will be generally mild, with temperatures returning to the twenties. This rise is temporary, God willing.
The “Omega” pattern is one of the well-known atmospheric obscuration patterns in meteorology. It is named as such because the shape of the jet stream and the atmospheric systems in it resembles the letter Omega (Ω). This pattern occurs when a high-pressure system is centered in the upper layers of the atmosphere over a certain area, surrounded by low-pressure systems from the eastern and western sides.
This positioning hinders the usual movement of weather systems from west to east, which contributes to the high pressure system remaining for a longer period than usual, thus weakening the chances of major weather events and relatively high temperatures compared to general averages.
The Omega pattern does not necessarily mean a complete absence of rainfall opportunities, as some weak atmospheric disturbances or the edges of adjacent low-pressure systems may allow for limited unstable weather conditions, or localized rainfall of a random nature, without the formation of a major winter weather system.
Initial indicators, God willing, suggest the possibility of a temporary break in the Omega pattern during the middle of next week, which may open the way for changes in the weather conditions, provided that the details of this remain subject to updates according to the outputs of subsequent weather models.
And God knows best.
