Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - The latest outputs of computer simulation systems related to weather systems and rain forecasts indicate that the southwestern sector of the Kingdom will be affected during the coming days during the weekend and early next week by daily weather fluctuations that are more intense and comprehensive compared to the past days.

Sometimes high intensity and showers of hail

Thunderstorms intensified in the heights of Jizan, Asir and Al-Baha

It is expected, God willing, that cumulus thunderclouds of a tropical nature will multiply during the weekend in the heights of Jazan, Asir and Al-Baha , and rain and hail showers will fall with high intensity, sometimes accompanied by lightning, thunder and strong winds, with a high chance of a rise in the water level and the flow of valleys and torrential rains, and it is not excluded that the region will be affected by storms Local sandy as a result of the downward winds prior to the rains.

This comes as a result of expectations of an eruption of depressions in the high and middle layers of the atmosphere from the south of the Arabian Peninsula, in conjunction with the support of moisture from the tropics due to the advancement of the seasonal belt of convergence of winds into the atmosphere of the Arabian Peninsula (ITCZ), and an effective surface response to the depressions.

These weather conditions require alerting:

• The intensity of the rain in different parts of the region of Jizan, Asir and Al-Baha
• The intensity of the downward winds associated with thunderclouds
• The intensity of cold showers in separate parts
