Weather in the Northern Borders and Mecca: Active winds and Ramadan forecast
The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued an important weather alert for Monday, indicating unstable weather conditions affecting parts of the Northern Borders region. These alerts are part of the ongoing monitoring of weather conditions to ensure the safety of citizens and residents, especially those traveling on highways and in open areas.
Weather details in the northern border region
The center explained in its report that the Tarf governorate in the Northern Borders region will experience significant surface wind activity, leading to dust and sandstorms. This weather condition will cause a decrease in horizontal visibility, necessitating caution. The center specified that the conditions will begin at 9:00 AM and continue until 6:00 PM on Monday.
These weather phenomena are part of the climatic characteristics of the northern regions of the Kingdom during the transitional periods between seasons, where dust-raising winds are active as a result of differences in atmospheric pressure values, which directly affects the movement of transportation and land navigation in the exposed areas.
Weather forecast for Mecca and Medina during Ramadan
In a related context, regarding long-term climate forecasts, the National Center for Meteorology issued its initial outlook for the expected weather conditions during the holy month of Ramadan 1447 AH, focusing on the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Preliminary data indicates that rainfall levels will be lower than the average for this time of year.
The center provided detailed statistics on normal rainfall rates, with the average in Mecca reaching approximately 4.2 mm and in Medina approximately 4.3 mm. Based on these forecasts, any rainfall during the holy month is expected to be light, providing an initial indication of the conditions that pilgrims and visitors will experience.
The importance of follow-up and preparedness
These reports are of paramount importance at both the local and service levels, as they assist relevant authorities in proactively planning crowd management during religious seasons and enhancing the preparedness of emergency response teams on highways in areas prone to dust storms. Experts consistently urge the public to monitor the real-time bulletins issued by the early warning system to mitigate the risks associated with sudden weather changes.
