Arab Weather - The latest satellite images show large amounts of cumulonimbus clouds currently hovering over the highlands of Jazan and Asir in the southwest of the Kingdom. These clouds are accompanied by seasonal rain showers, sometimes heavy with thunderstorms, which could lead to flash floods in valleys and ravines, in addition to active downdrafts that raise dust.
