Saudi Arabia is gearing up for a significant drop in temperatures as a cold front sweeps through, bringing sub-zero conditions to the northern regions. Areas like Tabuk, Al Jouf, and Hail are forecasted to face freezing temperatures, with unusually cold weather expected for this time of year.
This cold front, moving across the Arabian Peninsula, is set to impact daily life in these areas, prompting authorities to issue warnings for residents to take necessary precautions against the cold. The Ministry of Interior has recommended that people dress warmly and limit outdoor activities during the coldest times of the day and night.
Alongside the frigid temperatures, the cold front is anticipated to bring strong winds and potential frost, which could disrupt agriculture and transportation in the affected regions. Local authorities are on high alert to manage any issues, including icy roads or power outages that may arise from the severe weather.
Residents and expatriates in the northern parts of the country are encouraged to stay updated on the latest weather information and adhere to official advice to ensure their safety during this cold spell.
