WASM – Temperatures will rise temporarily during Thursday daytime ahead of a moderately warm air mass expected to affect the Kingdom beginning Friday evening, with continued northwest winds, and the temperature rise will be limited and slight in the western mountains of the Kingdom.
Typical summer conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday..
Temperatures will be within their normal summer seasonal levels in the capital and mountains on Tuesday and Wednesday, registering around 31-32°C in the capital, with weather being mild most of the time and hot during midday and afternoon periods, especially in low-lying areas.
Temperature rise temporarily on Thursday..
Temperatures will rise slightly on Thursday and slightly exceed their normal summer seasonal levels, with the capital registering around 33-35°C, noting that the temperature rise will remain limited and slight in the western mountains of the Kingdom due to the influence of northwest winds.
Gradual temperature decline on Friday and moderately warm air mass begins in the evening..
The moderately warm air mass will begin to gradually affect the Kingdom and temperatures will drop noticeably during Friday evening and night hours, with temperatures expected to fall below their normal seasonal levels by around 4°C across various regions, with nights becoming slightly cold in the mountains.
Heat waves continue to affect the European continent..
Strong heat waves have intensified their effect on Eastern Europe and temperatures are expected to exceed 40°C levels in wide areas, causing continued advance and succession of moderately warm air masses toward the Kingdom, eastern Mediterranean and northern Saudi Arabia, with this effect expected to reach its peak after July 19-20, as WASM Regional Center monitors a high probability of a more moderate and unseasonally unusual advance toward the eastern Mediterranean basin and northern Saudi Arabia, which may coincide with a strong and record heat wave over most European regions.
