Al-Jawf weather: Meteorology warns of rain and wind in Al-Qurayyat and Tabarjal
The National Center for Meteorology issued an important alert today regarding the expected weather conditions in the Al-Jawf region, indicating the possibility of light rain and weather changes that will directly affect the governorates of Al-Qurayyat and Tabarjal, starting tomorrow, Tuesday.
Weather details in Al Qurayyat and Tabarjal
The center explained in its daily report that the region is expected to be affected by light rain, accompanied by active surface winds, which may stir up dust and reduce horizontal visibility in open areas and on highways. The report also indicated the possibility of thunderstorms associated with this weather pattern. These weather fluctuations are expected to begin at 6:00 AM and continue until 6:00 PM on Tuesday.
Overall rainfall situation in Saudi Arabia
These warnings come within the context of a broader weather pattern currently affecting Saudi Arabia. The National Center for Meteorology had previously predicted continued thunderstorms of varying intensity across most regions of the Kingdom until next Thursday. These forecasts encompass multiple areas, including Asir, Al-Baha, Makkah, Madinah, Tabuk, Hail, Qassim, the Northern Borders, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, reflecting a widespread state of atmospheric instability.
The climatic and geographical importance of the Al-Jawf region
The Al-Jawf region, including its governorates such as Al-Qurayyat and Tabarjal, holds particular importance in weather monitoring due to its geographical location in the north of the Kingdom. These areas serve as a gateway for climatic influences from the north and often experience significant weather fluctuations during transitional seasons and winter. Monitoring these conditions is crucial given the region's agricultural nature; Tabarjal and Al-Qurayyat are renowned as major food baskets, making rain and wind have a direct impact on crops and agricultural activities.
Safety and prevention guidelines
Amid these warnings, relevant authorities consistently emphasize the importance of exercising caution. Weather and civil defense experts advise citizens and residents in affected areas to stay away from floodplains and valleys in case of heavy rainfall, to drive with extreme caution on highways due to the possibility of reduced visibility caused by strong winds and dust, and to adhere to official directives to ensure the safety of lives and property.
