Saudi Arabia Surprises as Gulf’s Snow Hotspot: Winter Scenes Amid Desert Landscapes

admin
SHARE

Saudi Arabia is known for its desert landscapes and scorching summer temperatures. The country has emerged as the Gulf region’s unexpected snow capital, according to recent reports from Arabia Weather. The Gulf is often associated with sun-baked dunes. Several areas in Saudi Arabia, such as Al Jouf, the Northern Borders, and Tabuk, experienced snowfall this month.

During winter, these regions are affected by polar air masses that drive temperatures down to freezing or lower, transforming parts of the desert kingdom into snow-covered scenes that resemble those found in colder climates. This makes Saudi Arabia the most snow-prone country in the Gulf, outpacing its neighbors in terms of snowfall frequency. Even the northern areas of Hail have witnessed occasional snow, creating winter landscapes that are rarely linked to the Gulf.

The neighboring UAE has also experienced snowfall, especially in the mountainous region of Jebel Jais, where a recent unusual weather system covered the peaks in heavy snow. However, Saudi Arabia’s distinct geography and seasonal polar currents set it apart, as it frequently encounters wintry weather, enchanting both residents and visitors with its surprising snow-covered vistas.

As winter approaches in the region, the snow-capped scenes of Saudi Arabia are likely to continue attracting attention, providing a rare look at the Gulf’s lesser-known winter aspect and highlighting the Kingdom’s climatic diversity.
