Strong winds, dust storms to accompany the cold snap

The cold front will not only bring frigid temperatures but also strong winds, leading to widespread dust storms. Mecca and Medina, including their coastal regions, are expected to experience reduced visibility due to dust, particularly on Sunday and Monday.

Cold wave spreads to southern regions

By Monday and Tuesday, the cold weather will extend further south, reaching areas like Al Qassim, Riyadh, and the southern parts of the Eastern Province. In these regions, temperatures are expected to drop to between 2°C and 5°C. Dusty conditions and strong winds are likely to persist, exacerbating the impact of the cold snap.

Public urged to take precautions

Authorities have urged residents to stay informed through regular weather updates and to take necessary precautions against the extreme weather. The NCM has advised people to limit outdoor activities during peak dust storm conditions and to dress warmly to protect against the cold.

As the Kingdom braces for this unusual weather event, residents are reminded to remain vigilant, especially in areas most affected by the cold wave and accompanying dust storms.
