Arab Weather - Forecasts indicate that thunderstorms will continue in a number of Arab countries in the coming days, as a result of the passage of cold air masses in the upper layers of the atmosphere, accompanied by the proliferation of cumulonimbus clouds, and the subsequent local showers of rain, which vary in intensity and geographical extent.

Thunderstorms in several parts of Saudi Arabia and Yemen

In detail, cumulonimbus clouds are expected to develop over the far southwestern highlands of the Kingdom, including the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, with a lesser possibility of extending to the highlands of the Makkah region, particularly Taif, and reaching parts of the Madinah region. Thunderstorms of varying intensity are expected, according to the National Center for Meteorology.

Rain is also expected in many areas of Yemen, especially the western highlands, where rainfall is expected to vary from moderate to heavy, and be very heavy in some neighborhoods, accompanied by hail, with surface winds stirring up dust in some desert areas.

Thunderstorms expected in northern North Africa

The latest weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the chances of rainfall will continue to be concentrated in the coming days in scattered areas of North Africa, including parts of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, as a result of the activity of some local weather disturbances.

And God knows best.
