Arab Weather - God willing, next Monday, September 22, 2025, is expected to fall on the autumnal equinox, marking the beginning of autumn astronomically in all countries located in the Northern Hemisphere.

The latest weather forecasts from Arab Weather indicate that the chances of rain on the first days of astronomical autumn are expected to include eight Arab countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, in addition to parts of Mauritania, Sudan, the Sultanate of Oman, Yemen, and southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Details of rain chances and affected areas

Maghreb countries

God willing, the Maghreb countries are expected to be affected by atmospheric disturbance and unstable weather conditions, resulting in the formation of cumulus clouds accompanied by thunderstorms covering various parts of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. This is due to the approach of a cold upper trough to the region, coinciding with the presence of hot air over North Africa, accompanied by the rush of warm and humid currents from the south. This weather situation is expected to create a state of atmospheric instability due to the large temperature differences between the high and low layers of the atmosphere, accompanied by heavy thunderstorms at times, hail and a warning of the formation of flash floods in some areas.

Eastern Mediterranean and Levant

According to weather forecasts, the eastern Mediterranean basin, including the Levant (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine), is not expected to be affected by any chance of rain. This is due to the continued dominance of dry and hotter air masses, with no indications of cold, moist air masses advancing toward the region.

Arabian Peninsula

Tropical moisture continues to flow towards the south and southwest of the Arabian Peninsula, accompanied by continued chances of cumulus clouds and thunderstorms. This includes the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman, parts of south and southwest Yemen, and southwest Saudi Arabia.

African continent

Heavy thunderstorms are expected in parts of central and southern Sudan and parts of Mauritania. These areas will continue to be affected by the usual seasonal rains resulting from the expansion of the tropical break. The rains are expected to be very heavy in parts of southern Sudan, causing flash floods in some areas.
