Eastern Region Faces Light Rain, Heavy Fog, and Hazardous Driving Conditions

Morning Fog Reduces Visibility

The National Center for Meteorology issued an urgent weather warning today. Officials reported light fog covering parts of the Eastern Region. The fog heavily affects major cities including Dammam and Dhahran. It also blankets several surrounding governorates this morning. This weather pattern heavily reduces visibility on the roads. Commuters must drive carefully during the early morning rush. The meteorology center expects this thick fog to persist until 8 a.m. Drivers need to leave early and maintain safe distances. Weather conditions currently create tricky situations for all morning traffic.

Rain and Dust Storms Emerge

Meanwhile, residents in Hafr Al-Batin Governorate are experiencing light rain. Brisk winds accompany this unexpected rainstorm across the area. The strong winds quickly stir up loose dust across the region. This blowing dust drastically reduces visibility on major highways. Drivers crossing open areas face serious safety hazards today. Local authorities advise everyone to exercise extreme caution on the roads.

Conditions Persist Until Tonight

These chaotic weather conditions will not clear up quickly. The National Center for Meteorology stated the blowing dust will continue. They expect poor visibility to last until 11 p.m. tonight.
