A prolonged rainy spell is affecting Saudi Arabia, bringing rain and hail to several regions.

Arab Weather - The latest readings of weather maps in Arab Weather indicate that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is affected by a state of weather fluctuations that is characterized as being long-term, God willing. This is due to the emergence of a state of atmospheric instability that leads to the activity of thunderclouds in many regions, including the capital, Riyadh. At this time of year, these clouds lead to heavy rainfall in narrow geographical areas, and are accompanied by showers of hail and sudden winds that stir up dust waves and sandstorms.

A prolonged rainy spell is affecting Saudi Arabia, bringing rain and hail to several regions.

In detail, it is expected, God willing, that Saudi Arabia will be affected, starting from Friday, March 6, 2026, and for a long period, by a state of weather fluctuations resulting from the passage of several cold air masses in the upper layers of the atmosphere, coinciding with the activity and extension of the Red Sea depression, which leads to the proliferation of cumulus clouds in many areas. The cumulus clouds will begin to be active starting from the western and southwestern sections, God willing, and will extend and expand to include several parts of the central region, including the capital, Riyadh, extending towards the eastern region and perhaps some northeastern sections.

These thunderstorms will, God willing, be accompanied by the following weather phenomena:

• Rain showers vary in intensity from region to region.
• Hail showers, sometimes heavy, in certain geographical areas
• Sudden, active to strong winds that generate dust storms
• Heavy rainfall is expected in parts of southwestern Saudi Arabia.

God willing, large amounts of rain are expected to fall on parts of the southwestern highlands of the Kingdom during the coming period, and we ask God that it be rain of goodness and blessing, God willing.

And God knows best.
