Arab Weather - As the month of May approaches its beginning, the rainy season is drawing to a close. Many people are wondering whether the Kingdom will be affected by rainy weather conditions and low-pressure systems during this month. This question can be answered by reviewing the climate archives and studying previous weather records related to the month of May from different years.

 

Climate archives show that the Kingdom was affected by air depressions during May.

Climate records and historical data show that the Kingdom has been affected by several low-pressure systems during May in previous years, sometimes accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity that covered several regions of the Kingdom, including the northern and central parts. These data indicate that the Kingdom may still be affected by unstable weather conditions during this month. However, this does not mean that the Kingdom will experience rainy conditions next May, despite the fact that May represents the transitional period towards summer, when weather activity typically gradually declines compared to the previous months of the rainy season.

 

The spring depression season begins its countdown with the first week of May.

On the other hand, apart from the winter-type depressions, the countdown also begins for the end of the effects of the spring Khamasin depressions, which are a hallmark of this time of year. These depressions currently affect the Kingdom's atmosphere, characterized by dryness and high temperatures, in addition to active dust-raising winds, leading to dusty and unstable conditions at intervals.

 

God knows best
