Saudi Arabia: A significant drop in temperatures and relatively cold nights in some areas in early October.

Arab Weather - The latest outputs from numerical computer models indicate that the Kingdom, particularly its northern regions, will be affected by a cooler air mass coming across the eastern Mediterranean basin, leading to a drop in temperatures, particularly toward the end of this week and the beginning of next week, God willing.

Temperatures drop to the mid-30s in Riyadh, while they are in the late 20s in the northern regions.

In detail, a moderate air mass coming from the eastern Mediterranean basin and the Levant region is expected to push towards parts of the Kingdom. Starting at the end of this week and during the first days of next week, it will affect Tabuk, Al-Jawf, and the Northern Borders, accompanied by a significant drop in temperatures.

Maximum temperatures in the above-mentioned areas are expected to drop to between 28-30°C, with moderate to cool weather prevailing in the afternoon, while minimum temperatures at night will drop to between 18-14°C. Therefore, the temperature differences between day and night will become sharp and may exceed 15°C. Therefore, it is recommended to wear light coats during the dawn and early morning hours, especially in the first days of next week. The weather will be cool to relatively cold.

The impact of the air mass on the central region and the capital, Riyadh.

As for the central region, including the capital, Riyadh, the effects of the air mass are expected to extend to the capital, bringing temperatures down to the mid-30s°C. The weather will be cooler during the day than usual, while nighttime temperatures will drop to 23°C for the first time since last spring. The weather will be moderate and suitable for all outdoor activities.

Hot weather in the rest of the Kingdom except for summer resorts

The weather in the rest of the regions will be relatively hot to hot during the day, with maximum temperatures approaching 40°C in the Tihama and Eastern regions, while the weather will remain moderate in the southwestern mountain range (the Kingdom's summer resorts) due to the elevation of these regions above sea level. Clouds will appear with the possibility of rain showers in parts of Jazan and Asir, accompanied by lightning, thunder and hail.

And God knows best.
