And if you’re planning a beach day, think again. Waves over 2.5 metres are expected to crash along the coasts of Tabuk, Madinah, Makkah, Asir, and Jazan regions on Friday.
Temperatures are expected to plummet, with some areas dipping below zero. So, make sure to bundle up and stay warm. And most importantly, keep an eye on the updates from the National Center of Meteorology for the latest on this wild weather ride. Stay safe and enjoy the snow if you can catch it.
