Weather of Arabia - Weather readings indicate that rain clouds are expected to recede over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Sunday and Monday, May 21 and 22, to concentrate on the southwestern highlands, in addition to parts of the Riyadh and Eastern regions. However, the same maps indicate that its area will expand again, starting on Tuesday, to include many areas, God willing.

 

Sunday and Monday: areas covered by thunderstorms in the Kingdom

It is expected, God willing, that the activity of cumulus clouds will resume during the afternoon of Sunday in the heights of eastern Jizan, Asir and Al-Baha, reaching south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and may reach the city of Taif again, and these clouds are accompanied by medium to heavy rains accompanied by the occurrence of thunderstorms and precipitation hail at times. It is also possible that rainy thunderclouds will extend to separate parts of the administrative and eastern regions of Riyadh, but they are concentrated in the southern parts of the two regions, and these thunderclouds are accompanied by activity in the downward winds that stir dust and dust, causing a decrease in the horizontal visibility in some areas.

Cumulonimbus clouds will multiply again on Monday over the southwestern highlands, accompanied by rains of varying intensity that may lead to runoff of valleys and reefs in some areas. It is also possible that some local cumulus clouds will form in parts of the Riyadh and Eastern regions, but they are of a narrow range in general and are accompanied by active winds of thunderclouds, causing temporary dust waves in some areas.

 

The expansion of the cumulus rain clouds again over the Kingdom, starting from Tuesday

And the latest air maps, resulting from the so-called computer simulation, indicate that an air depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere is expected to approach the Kingdom’s atmosphere, starting from Tuesday, in conjunction with the flow of tropical water vapor from the south, which leads to an expansion of the area of activity of cumulus rain clouds over The Kingdom, with its focus on the southwestern highlands.

And it is expected, God willing, that thunderstorms will include the heights of Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, and Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and these rains will be of varying intensity and accompanied by the occurrence of thunderstorms and hail, which may lead to runoff of valleys and reefs in some areas. Rain clouds extend to separate parts of Najran, Riyadh, Eastern Province, Qassim and Hail, in addition to the southern parts of Medina. Rain chances are likely to extend to some northern and northwestern regions, but this needs more follow-up.

 

God knows.
