The temperature in some places in Saudi Arabia will drop below zero degrees. The temperature in some areas may reach -4 degrees. This information was reported by Gulf News on Saturday (December 28).

The northern part of the country will be the most affected by the cold. This includes Tabuk, Al Jawf, the northern border and northern Medina. Such weather will be observed until January 3.

It has already been quite cold in Saudi Arabia. Due to the cold wave that is starting today, Saturday, the temperature in Tabuk, Al Jawf and Hail will drop to -4 degrees.

For the past few days, there has been talk in Saudi Arabia that this time the lowest temperature in the country’s history will be observed. However, Hussein Al Qahtani, spokesman for the National Meteorological Center, said on Wednesday that these reports are rumors.

The desert country of Saudi Arabia experiences unbearable temperatures in the summer. Especially in June-July, it is impossible to leave the house due to the heat of the sun. And in winter, the temperature drops to zero. This year, temperatures in the country were so high during the Hajj season that 1,300 people died while performing the Hajj in Mecca.

Trump asks court to delay possible TikTok ban until he can weigh in as president

FILE – People gather in Washington to oppose a TikTok ban, March 22, 2023. On Friday, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential ban from going into effect until he is sworn in and his administration can pursue a “political resolution.”

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.

The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by January 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk.

“President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case.

The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for January 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment.

Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute, leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”
