Light to moderate winds will prevail along the southern coasts, while the southwestern coasts may see stronger winds reaching speeds of up to 28 knots, raising concerns about dust and sand.

Mountain Weather: Cold Nights and Early Mornings

The daily weather bulletin, which was shared with the Yemen News Agency (Saba), predicts that mountainous regions will remain clear but experience very cold temperatures during the night and early morning.
