Today's weather in Saudi Arabia: Rain, fog, and temperatures

The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued the weather in Saudi Arabia , revealing significant weather fluctuations affecting several regions, ranging from heavy rainfall to the formation of dense fog that may lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility.

Weather forecast and atmospheric phenomena

The center explained in its statement issued today, Friday, that the chance of thunderstorms preceded by active winds that stir up dust and sand remains, reducing horizontal visibility in parts of the Kingdom. These forecasts come within the context of the current weather conditions in the region during this transitional period, characterized by the interaction of air masses and the activity of humid air currents.

Weather maps indicate that heavy rainfall will be the dominant feature in areas such as Tabuk, Dawadmi, and Tarif, while other regions, including Al-Ahsa, Rafha, Qurayyat, and As-Soudah, will experience thunderstorms that may be accompanied by hail. This climatic diversity is a geographical characteristic of the Kingdom, given its vast area and varied topography, encompassing coasts, mountains, and deserts.

Temperatures and thermal contrast

Regarding temperatures , the Kingdom's cities recorded a clear variation reflecting the geographical nature of each region. Mecca, Dammam, and Al-Kharj recorded maximum temperatures of 29 degrees Celsius, indicating relatively warm weather during the day, while the northern regions and highlands recorded lower temperatures, with minimum temperatures in Al-Qurayyat and Al-Soudah reaching only 5 degrees Celsius.

The importance of warnings and the impact of fog

The National Center of Meteorology warned drivers and highway users of the risk of skidding during rainfall and of reduced visibility due to fog, especially in the early morning and late evening hours. Areas such as Al Qurayyat, Rawdat Tanhat, Ad Dahna Desert, and As Samman recorded humidity levels reaching 100%, creating ideal conditions for dense fog formation.

These reports play a vital role in maintaining public safety, as relevant authorities such as civil defense and road security rely on them to issue proactive warnings to citizens and residents.
