Arab Weather - Seasonal summer rains are expected to continue across several Arab regions this week, God willing, spanning nine Arab countries.

Thunderstorms in 9 Arab countries this week, some of which may cause flooding.

Thunderstorms are likely to affect the highlands of southwestern Saudi Arabia, including Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, where conditions are ripe for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, bringing rain and thunder. In Yemen, the mountainous highlands, including Sana'a and Taiz, are expected to continue to be affected by the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, with heavy rainfall in some areas, which could lead to flash floods and the flow of valleys.

In the Sultanate of Oman, forecasts indicate continued chances of thunderstorms in the Al Hajar Mountains, especially in the northeastern regions, with the possibility of flooding and valley flows, due to the intensification of the influence of humid currents coming from the Arabian Sea. The effects of these rains will also extend to the eastern highlands of the UAE, including the mountainous regions bordering the Sultanate of Oman, where local cumulus clouds are likely to form, accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity.

The effects of seasonal rains are concentrated in parts of Somalia, Sudan, and Djibouti, where seasonal rains are expected to continue, with potential flash floods in some areas, particularly in northern and central Sudan.

In the Maghreb countries, forecasts indicate local cumulus cloud activity in northern Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. This is due to the convergence of moderate air masses coming from the Mediterranean with warm, humid currents. This will lead to the formation of cumulus clouds, which may result in scattered rain in some northern regions.

And God knows best.
