Cold weather continues in Saudi Arabia: Details and weather forecast

The National Center for Meteorology announced in its latest report that cold weather will continue in the northern parts of Saudi Arabia, confirming that this cold wave will extend its effects to include the central and eastern regions of the Kingdom in the coming days. This report comes as part of the ongoing monitoring of weather conditions and atmospheric fluctuations currently affecting the region, urging citizens and residents to be aware of temperature changes.
The center explained that the northern regions, specifically Tabuk, Al-Jawf, the Northern Borders, and Hail, will experience continued low temperatures until the end of this week. Data from the meteorological department indicates that minimum temperatures in these areas will range between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius, representing very cold conditions that necessitate taking necessary precautions, especially during the night and early morning hours.
Cold weather is expected to continue in the central and eastern regions
The impact of the air masses is not limited to the north; forecasts extend to Riyadh, Qassim, and the Eastern Province. Temperatures will begin a gradual and noticeable decline starting Wednesday. According to the center's report, minimum temperatures in these areas are expected to range between 7 and 9 degrees Celsius. This shift in weather patterns reflects the Kingdom's climatic characteristics during the winter transition season, as cold air masses move from the north towards the south and east, affecting the daily lives of residents.
The importance of adhering to safety and prevention guidelines
As the cold weather persists and temperatures drop, adhering to health guidelines and public safety measures becomes increasingly important. Experts advise wearing warm winter clothing to keep the body warm, especially for children and the elderly who are more vulnerable to the effects of the cold. Caution should also be exercised when using various heating methods, whether electric heaters or coal and wood stoves, and proper ventilation should be ensured to prevent cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, which are more common in such conditions.
The National Center of Meteorology continues its vital role in monitoring weather changes and issuing early warnings through its official platforms, contributing to increased preparedness among relevant authorities and citizens alike. These periodic reports emphasize the importance of following official weather bulletins to obtain accurate information and avoid rumors, ensuring everyone's safety during periods of unstable weather.
God willing, from tomorrow until the end of this week, cold weather will continue in the northern regions, while temperatures will drop starting Wednesday in the Riyadh, Qassim, and Eastern regions. #KeepingYouKnowWeatherInformation pic.twitter.com/TV04lz332F — National Center of Meteorology (NCM) (@NCMKSA) March 2, 2026
