Arab Weather - The fall season has ended, and the days of Wasm, which have always been known for their abundant rains, have passed, but this year's fall was different from previous years, as large parts of the Arabian Peninsula, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, suffered from a lack of rainy cases compared to previous years.

Scientific reasons behind the lack of rain in Saudi Arabia this season

Experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center believe that the main reason behind the absence of widespread and comprehensive rainy conditions in the region to this day is due to the nature of the prevailing weather systems and the strength of the high-pressure systems affecting the Arabian Peninsula, and the lack of deepening of the upper basins and less cold air to the Levant and Red Sea regions, which are supposed to collide with the warm and humid air masses coming from the south, which are supposed to create unstable weather conditions and the widespread formation of rainy thunderclouds.

Is it likely that the region will be affected by rainy conditions in the short and medium term?

Regarding the short and medium term weather forecasts, the experts at Arab Weather believe that the prevailing weather systems will remain in control of the region’s atmosphere during the coming week at least, which means that stable weather will continue to prevail and there will be no rainy or general conditions in the region, including Saudi Arabia.
