Don't be fooled by the sunny weather now... Thunderstorms are expected in several areas this afternoon, with strong effects on the eastern desert.

Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Center indicate sunny weather prevailing this morning in various regions of the Kingdom. The beginning of the day does not suggest any expected weather changes during the coming hours. However, computer simulation maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom will be affected during the afternoon and evening hours by unstable weather conditions, mainly concentrated in the eastern desert regions, while its effects will include the rest of the Kingdom’s regions randomly and irregularly.

In detail , the Kingdom is expected to be affected from the afternoon and evening hours by a state of atmospheric instability, as a result of which cumulonimbus clouds will multiply over random areas, and create the opportunity for thunderstorms in far-flung areas of the Kingdom, due to the irregular geographical distribution of the weather condition. It is not unlikely that these rains will be heavy at times in some narrow geographical areas, and may be accompanied by local hail.

As for the eastern desert regions, the effects of the unstable weather conditions are expected to be strong there, with the formation of dense thunderclouds accompanied by heavy rain and hail of varying sizes, in addition to strong winds that will stir up sand and dust storms.

He warns especially in the eastern desert regions of the danger of flash floods in valleys and ravines, the formation of water pools and rising water levels, including the Baghdad International Road area and the Jordanian-Iraqi border area.

And God knows best.
