Tarif... the gateway to the north and its distinctive climate
The province of Tarif enjoys a strategic geographical location in the far north of Saudi Arabia. Its climate differs somewhat from the rest of the Kingdom, typically experiencing the lowest temperatures during winter and even snowfall in some years. Rainfall in Tarif is of great environmental importance, contributing to the growth of wild grasses and aromatic plants for which the region is known. This, in turn, positively impacts the livestock and grazing sector, which is an integral part of the local heritage and economy.
The importance of caution and vigilance
Due to the current weather conditions, which include strong surface winds and dust storms, particularly on highways and open roads connecting the Kingdom's far-flung regions, weather experts and relevant authorities advise drivers to exercise caution. This includes reducing speed, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, and avoiding low-lying areas and floodplains in case of heavy rainfall, all in order to protect lives and property.
Continuous monitoring of weather conditions
The National Center of Meteorology emphasizes the importance of following its daily reports and early warnings issued through its official platforms to ensure access to accurate information about expected weather conditions. This monitoring is essential for planning daily activities and travel, especially given the rapid weather fluctuations that the Kingdom may experience during this transitional period of the year.
