Arab Weather - Satellite images from the Arab Weather Center today captured a massive and unusual thunderstorm cloud forming over large parts of Pakistan. It's accompanied by a low-pressure area that formed over the past 48 hours. The area of this horizontal cloud is estimated at approximately 91,800 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of an entire country.

Thunderstorms the size of entire countries

For comparison, the area of this cloud exceeds the area of several Arab countries, such as Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. It also exceeds the area of Jordan, the UAE, and Austria, and is almost the same size as Portugal. As for cities and capitals, it turns out that this cloud is larger than London, Paris, Cairo, Amman, Kuwait City, Manama, and Doha.

The appearance of clouds of this size is an indicator of the severity of weather disturbances in the region, which are usually accompanied by strong thunderstorms and heavy rains that may lead to the risk of flash floods.

And God knows best.
