Hussein Al-Qahtani, spokesperson for the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), shared that while Saudi Arabia will have a cold winter, it won’t be as intense as previous years. Speaking on Al-Ekhbariya’s “120 Program,” Hussein shared the details on how this winter might be different than you’re expecting. The NCM plans to release a detailed climate report soon, outlining the season’s weather patterns.

He mentioned that temperatures will drop, but you won’t see the extreme lows like Riyadh’s past winters, where it dipped below freezing

Saudi had quite an intense winter season back in 2022, where places like Tabuk witnessed gorgeous snow

Saudi Arabia has had its fair share of intense winters in the past, with some regions even witnessing snowfall! Areas like Tabuk, Turaif, and other northern parts of the Kingdom have seen snow-covered landscapes, turning the desert into a winter wonderland. Riyadh has also experienced some seriously cold temperatures, dropping below freezing during the chilliest nights. People bundle up in coats and scarves, and it’s hard to believe how cold it can get in a country known for its heat!
