Saudi Arabia, for the last two days, has witnessed a sharp decrease in temperature with a cold front affecting the Kingdom's north and center.

Temperatures dropped below 0 degrees Celsius in some parts, with the Saudi meteorology office urging residents to keep warm and avoid venturing to isolated regions.

The General Authority of Meteorology and Environment Protection also forecasted heavy rain and thunderstorms over Tabuk, Hail, Al-Jawf and east of Madinah.

In western regions of the Kingdom, temperatures remained moderate with weak chances of intermittent rain over parts of the northern border.

Parts of Saudi Arabia were blanketed by snow on Friday, especially in the northwestern regions, such as the Dahr Mountains.

Weather expert Khaled al-Zaaq confirmed that the cold weather hit its climax on Sunday and temperatures will gradually become warmer.

He, nevertheless, said that the effects of the cold front will continue until the end of the week.

Rare Purple-Flowered 'Zilla' Spotted in Saudi Northern Borders Region

Zilla, the plant with striking purple flowers, has recently been spotted in the serene valleys of the Northern Borders region.
The rare and beautiful plant is often called locally "shabram".
The chairman of the board of directors of the Aman Environmental Association, Nasser bin Arshid Al-Majlad, said that the Northern Borders region, with its diverse terrain, supports a variety of plant life, each with its unique value. Zilla, in particular, plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing nectar for bees and forage for livestock, especially camels. However, due to overgrazing and other factors, the population of this plant has declined significantly in recent years, SPA reported.
The Aman Environmental Association is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preserving the region's natural heritage. By highlighting the beauty and ecological significance of plants like the Zilla, the association aims to inspire individuals to take action and protect the environment.
