Arab Weather - The latest weather maps from global centers, as well as internal models in "Arab Weather", indicate that the northern and western parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be affected today, Friday, and tomorrow, Saturday, by a rainy weather system that includes the areas of Madinah, including the coasts, the northern borders, Hail, and Makkah, in addition to Qassim and the southwestern highlands.

 

A cold front is crossing the Kingdom, causing intensified thunderstorms.

Arab Weather experts predict that a cold front will gradually cross the northern and western parts of the Kingdom during the afternoon and evening hours, continuing into Friday night/Saturday morning. This front will move slowly, affecting the northern border regions (Tarif and Arar), Al-Jawf, Tabuk, and the areas of Madinah, Hail, and Makkah. Sea waves will increase in the northern Red Sea, extending to Al-Wajh and gradually reaching Umluj and Yanbu. A significant drop in temperatures, increased wind speeds, and varying intensities of rainfall, accompanied by hail and thunderstorms, are also expected.

 

The cold front will cross Jeddah on Friday evening and night/Saturday

The cold front will begin crossing the central Red Sea on Friday evening and night/Saturday, and strong cumulonimbus clouds will form over the waters of the central Red Sea, the coasts of Jeddah, the entire Jeddah and Makkah region, reaching as far as the coasts of Jazan and the southwestern highlands.

 

Therefore, the weather will be rainy and thundery on Thursday in the city of Jeddah, with heavy rains causing water levels to rise and valleys and streams to flow, in addition to increased wind speed that will stir up dust during the passage of thunderclouds.

 

And God knows best.
