The National Center for Meteorology forecasts active winds and rain affecting regions across the Kingdom
The National Center for Meteorology (NCM) predicted in its weather report for today, Monday, the continued influence of active, dust-stirring winds over the eastern parts of the Asir, Al-Baha, and Makkah regions, as well as parts of the Riyadh, Madinah, Qassim, Hail, Al-Jouf, and Northern Borders regions, extending to include the northern parts of the Eastern Province. The report anticipated that horizontal visibility could reach near-zero in parts of the Tabuk region due to the impact of these winds.
Conversely, the report stated that the chance of light rainfall remains possible over the western highlands of the Kingdom, with the potential formation of fog not ruled out over parts of the Al-Baha, Asir, and Jazan regions during the mentioned period.
The report noted that surface wind movement over the Red Sea will be northwesterly to northerly in the northern and central parts at speeds of (15 – 25) km/h, potentially reaching over (45) km/h toward the Gulf of Aqaba, and northeasterly to southerly in the southern part at speeds of (15 – 30) km/h. It also mentioned that wave heights will range between half a meter to one and a half meters, potentially exceeding two and a half meters toward the Gulf of Aqaba. The sea state will be slight to moderate, potentially becoming rough toward the Gulf of Aqaba.
On the other hand, the report characterized surface wind movement over the Arabian Gulf as remaining northwesterly at speeds of (10 – 25) km/h, with wave heights ranging between half a meter to a meter, and a slight sea state.
