Arab Weather - Weather forecasts issued by the Arab Weather Center indicate that large areas of the southern Arabian Peninsula will be affected by a humid tropical wave starting Sunday, which will intensify gradually until the end of the week. This will lead to significant seasonal rain activity in parts of the Sultanate of Oman, Yemen, and southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Accompanied by heavy rain and hail, a humid tropical wave will affect the southern Arabian Peninsula at this time.

The wave is expected to gradually begin to affect the region on Sunday, with activity increasing throughout the rest of the week, particularly on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thunderstorms of varying intensity are expected, possibly heavy in some areas, and sometimes accompanied by hail and downwind winds that could stir up dust and dirt.

Thunderstorms are affecting several regions of the Sultanate of Oman, particularly the Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates. Large areas of Yemen, particularly the western highlands, including the capital, Sana'a, and some coastal areas, have also been affected by these weather disturbances, which include strong thunderstorms, heavy rains, and hail.

In Saudi Arabia, cumulonimbus clouds are expected to increase daily during the afternoon and evening hours over the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, with the possibility of them extending to the highlands of the Makkah region, especially Taif. Some thunderstorms may extend to the surrounding coastal areas. Thunderstorms are expected to be most active over the highlands of Jazan and Asir, where they will be accompanied by heavy rainfall and hail.

Warning of concerns about the flow of water into valleys and ravines, the formation of flash floods and the descent of waterfalls

The Meteorological Forecasting Center recommends caution against the risk of flooding in valleys and ravines, flash floods, and waterfalls in sloping areas, due to the expected heavy rainfall during the period of the tropical wet wave.

And God knows best.
