Saudi Arabia is enduring an ongoing heatwave, with high temperatures continuing across eastern and central areas. Coastal regions are experiencing dust storms, which have drastically reduced visibility. Thunderstorms are anticipated in the southern provinces. On Wednesday, 29th of the second month in the Islamic calendar, winds are blowing strongly, stirring up dust and sand in Makkah, Madinah, and Tabuk.
This has resulted in near-zero visibility along the coast. The Eastern Province and parts of Riyadh, Makkah, and Madinah are still baking under high heat. There's a possibility of thunderstorms with strong winds in Najran, Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, as well as southern parts of Riyadh and the Eastern Province. For the Red Sea, northern winds will range from 12-35 km/h, intensifying to 25-50 km/h in the center and south. Wave heights will vary from half a meter to two and a half meters, depending on the location.
