The temperature in Al-Qurayyat Governorate, northern Saudi Arabia, was (-1) Celsius at dawn last Saturday, the lowest in the Kingdom, followed by Turaif Governorate, which had a similar temperature.

Temperature in Tabuk city is hitting (3) degrees Celsius, while Hail reached (5) degrees Celsius, according to statistics from the National Center of Meteorology.

According to a report released today, Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Al-Baha, Asir, Riyadh, Al-Qassim, Al-Sharqiya, Tabuk, the northern borders, Al-Jawf, and Hail will have rainy winter weather starting next Tuesday.

residents of the north increased their preparations for the cold, especially during its peak, as gas stations saw masses lining up to fill kerosene, the most common heating technique in northern Saudi Arabia, due to the strong demand for it.

Meanwhile, inhabitants in the northern region’s Al-Qurayyat Governorate lit the fuses on their heating units in order to combat the cold wave that had descended on their city.

To avoid the chilly wave, a number of locals resorted to wearing heavy winter clothing (fur) (Al-Jumaydah).

While others recreated winter traditions such as curling themselves around a semi-fire and eating the Mansaf feast to keep warm.
