Riyadh: Gusty and dust-stirring winds are anticipated to affect several regions across Saudi Arabia this Sunday.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the National Center for Meteorology forecasts these conditions in parts of Najran, Riyadh, Eastern, Northern Borders, Al-Jouf, Tabuk, Hail, and Qassim regions.

Thunderclouds are also expected to form over parts of Jazan, Aseer, Al-Baha, and Makkah regions. The weather forecast suggests that these conditions may lead to reduced visibility and possible disruptions in these areas.

In the southern part, winds will shift to northwesterly to westerly, blowing at 15-30 km/h. The sea is expected to remain relatively calm, with waves ranging from half a meter to two meters.
