According to Saudi Press Agency, there is a possibility of fog forming in these regions, while dust-stirring winds are expected to affect parts of Madinah, Tabuk, Al-Jouf, Hail, and Northern Borders regions. This weather pattern suggests a significant change in atmospheric conditions, impacting various areas across the country.
