Summer rain condition Tropic 22

It is a rainy situation that affected the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the last days of July and extended through the month of August 2022. It is considered a strong and comprehensive case, as it affected the Arab Gulf countries, Yemen and large geographical areas and ranges from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It also included several major cities of the Kingdom, including the capital Riyadh and the city of Jeddah, and greatly affected the eastern, central and western regions of the Kingdom, and orbit 22 was accompanied by heavy and abundant rain in some areas, especially in the western and central sectors of the Kingdom, which caused the formation of torrential rains in some areas.

The rain situation (Madar 22) was formed as a result of the unusually ingress and extension of the monsoon depressions from the north of the Indian subcontinent towards the south of the Arabian Peninsula, in conjunction with the shifting of the subtropical air altitude sometimes to the north towards the Levant and at other times to the Iranian lands, making way for the penetration of humid tropical winds towards the peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula is formed by eastern grooves extending from the main depression. Under the extremely high temperatures in the low stratum atmosphere, the seasonal convergence belt (ITCZ) pushed into the depths of the Arabian Peninsula and interacted with the atmospheric depressions to form a high-energy uplift front that stimulated the atmosphere to form deep cumulus cells.

Significant amounts of rain were associated with the rainy situation, orbit 22

The rain situation (Madar 22) caused significant amounts of rain in parts of the Sultanate that exceeded the 300 mm barrier, and the port of Fujairah in the UAE fell the highest amount of rain during the month of July in 27 years by 222 mm, while Qatar witnessed rains that did not occur in this abundance In July, 60 years ago, these waves resulted in the formation of torrential torrents, and caused significant damage to the infrastructure in parts of the mentioned Gulf countries.
