Saudi Arabia has been experiencing bitterly cold waves, accompanied by active and sometimes strong winds, mainly in the northern regions.
25 Jan 2020 – Speaking to Al Arabiya.net, renowned weather expert Muad Al-Ahmadihe said that the cold wave that started a few days ago will continue for about two weeks more. He urged people to take utmost vigil, precaution and safety measures during this period.
Al-Ahmadi said the cold snap returned again as snowfall and moderate rains hit the northern border regions of Arar, Turaif, Qurayyat and Al-Jouf.
He pointed out that the temperatures would fall to minus 4 C in the regions south of Tabuk, Taimah and Al-Ula.
