Riyadh: Active, dust-stirring winds are forecasted to sweep across several regions of Saudi Arabia, including Najran, Makkah, Madinah, Qassim, Hail, Tabuk, Al-Jouf, and the Northern Borders.

Wave heights will vary from half a meter to two meters, with the sea conditions remaining relatively calm.
In the Arabian Gulf, winds will blow northwesterly to northerly at 20-40 km/h in the northern and central sections, while the southern part will experience southeasterly to northeasterly winds at 15-30 km/h.
