Saudi Arabia Braces for Cold Wave Starting Saturday
The National Center for Meteorology (NCM) has warned that a cold wave will affect several regions of Saudi Arabia starting Saturday and lasting until Tuesday. The weather authority said the cold wave will cause a clear drop in temperatures across the affected areas.
According to the NCM, the cold wave will hit parts of Al-Jouf, the Northern Borders, Tabuk, Hail, Qassim, Riyadh, and the northern areas of the Eastern Province. People living in these regions should expect much colder weather, especially at night and early in the morning. Most Viewed: Saudi Arabia unifies LPG cylinder and Central Gas Prices
