With the beginning of the day, the National Center of Meteorology expected that the weather activity will be clear in several regions of the Kingdom. It is expected that the regions of Tabuk and Medina will witness thunderstorms, and they will not be the only ones in this context, as it is expected that the regions of Hail, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province will be affected by the same conditions. .
As for the southern regions, the forecast indicates moderate to heavy thunderstorms in the regions of Najran, Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, and Makkah Al-Mukarramah. What makes matters more interesting is the expectation of hail showers that may accompany those rains, in addition to active winds that may raise dust and dirt, which makes horizontal vision a challenge at times.
