By Monday and Tuesday, the cold front is anticipated to spread to Al Qassim, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, where temperatures may drop between 2°C and 5°C. Strong winds accompanying the cold weather are likely to cause dust storms, particularly on Sunday and Monday, affecting visibility in regions including Mecca and Medina.
Residents are advised to stay updated through official NCM channels, follow safety measures, and prepare for reduced visibility due to dust storms in affected areas. Authorities urge vigilance to mitigate risks during this extreme weather event.
