Arab Weather - Weather maps in the Arab Weather app captured a stunning scene of a massive thunderstorm forming in the northeastern Arabian Sea, caused by the formation of a tropical system in that region. Observations indicate that this cloud is accompanied by extremely heavy rainfall in large quantities in areas in India and Pakistan, specifically Porbandar and neighboring areas.

 

A huge area of thunderclouds covers about a third of the area of Saudi Arabia.

To represent the size of this massive thundercloud, which covers an area of approximately 785,000 km² (seven hundred and eighty-five thousand square kilometers), a visual simulation was conducted showing that the cloud covers approximately one-third of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Specialists projected the cloud vertically onto Saudi Arabia and observed that if the cloud were over the Kingdom, it would cover approximately 36.5% of its area of approximately 2.15 million km², providing a clear visual representation of the magnitude of this natural phenomenon and its potential to impact surrounding areas.

And God knows best.
