Heavy rains expected

Includes parts of Saudi Arabia and Yemen

In detail, the southwestern and western parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are expected to remain under the influence of successive waves of tropical humidity, which will cause cumulonimbus clouds to appear daily over the mountains of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, as well as parts of Taif and the eastern mountains of Makkah Al-Mukarramah. Rain of varying intensity, sometimes heavy and accompanied by hail showers, will fall, causing valleys and torrents to flow.

As for Yemen, it is expected to be affected by the same weather system, and clouds will appear over the mountains in the afternoon hours, especially in the western parts, and heavy rains will fall at times, causing valleys and torrents to flow, which requires taking caution and care.

Seasonal rains continue in Oman and the UAE.

God willing, cumulus clouds will again accumulate over the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman during the afternoon and evening hours, and showers of rain will fall, which may be heavy at times, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and hail in some areas, and may be preceded by descending winds that stir up dust and dirt.

We are monitoring the Arab Weather app for the possibility of these clouds extending towards the eastern mountains of the UAE, accompanied by rainfall that may be heavy at times and accompanied by downward winds.

.

Accompanied by floods

Heavy seasonal rains continue to affect Sudan.

We are monitoring the growing indications of heavy rains in various parts of Sudan, which will lead to rising water levels and local flooding, especially in the central and southern parts of the country. This will further complicate the humanitarian situation in the camps of displaced people spread across the country in the coming days.

Variable weather fluctuations

Chances of rain in Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia

God willing, various parts of North Africa are expected to experience weather fluctuations, including some of Egypt's northern coasts, with scattered light rain affecting Marsa Matrouh on Saturday, as well as parts of northern Tunisia and Algeria. The rain will be more severe in northern Morocco, accompanied by thunderstorms.
