A new cold wave is gripping the region, expected to last for several days due to an extended cold air mass. Meteorologist Issa Ramadan reports the wave is accompanied by moderate to active northwesterly winds, intensifying the chill. Perceived temperatures are forecast to drop below zero degrees Celsius in the early morning, with a more significant dip expected on Sunday.
Ramadan states the cold will persist before temperatures gradually rise toward the weekend. The warning follows recent extreme cold on New Year’s Eve, particularly in desert areas, driven by a previous cold front and strong winds. Officials urge public caution during night and early morning hours.
