Comparable weather conditions are also forecasted for regions including Riyadh, Al-Zulfi, Al-Ghat, Shaqra, Al-Majma’ah, Rumah, Hail, Al-Qassim, Asir, the Northern Borders, and the Eastern Province.
In areas such as Taif, Maysan, and other parts of the Makkah region, alongside Al-Jawf, Al-Qassim, the Eastern Province, Al-Baha, and Jazan, forecasts indicate moderate rainfall, robust winds, and the likelihood of dust storms.
Parts of Riyadh, among other regions like Madinah, Hail, the Northern Borders, and the Eastern Province, share similar weather expectations.
Local resident Jawaher Al-Ghamdi stresses the importance of heeding weather advisories, mentioning how Jeddah’s erratic weather necessitates prudence. Abdulaziz Omar echoes the sentiment, particularly about Riyadh's weather warnings calling for indoor safety.
Meanwhile, Tabuk region's recent snowfall on December 28 brought its third dusting this year, particularly covering Jabal Al-Lawz Mountain.
