Arab Weather - The latest numerical model forecasts indicate that the Makkah region will be affected by severe weather disturbances tomorrow, Thursday, accompanied by a chance of thunderstorms that may include parts of the Grand Mosque and Jeddah.

 

Thunderstorms extend to the Grand Mosque area and Jeddah, and will be moderate to heavy at times.

God willing, chances of thunderstorms are expected to gradually include the Grand Mosque area and the holy sites during the dawn and morning hours of Thursday, and will later extend to parts of Jeddah, especially its eastern parts, during the noon and afternoon hours, God willing. The weather disturbance is expected to be accompanied by the formation of strong cumulus clouds with a towering vertical extension, so that the rain will be thundery and heavy at times and accompanied by hail showers, which may lead to the formation of flash floods and a rise in water levels in some areas.

 

On Thursday, winds are expected to pick up in some areas, particularly those with thunderstorm forecasts. The winds will be accompanied by strong gusts as cumulus clouds pass, stirring up dust and potentially reducing horizontal visibility at times.
