Arab Weather - Weather forecasts indicate an increased chance of cumulonimbus thunderstorms forming over the Sinai Mountains and parts of the mountain ranges overlooking the Red Sea today and in the coming days, coinciding with the ongoing heat wave across the region.

These clouds form as a result of the convergence of an extremely hot air mass with high humidity in the middle and upper layers of the atmosphere, creating conditions suitable for the formation of thunderclouds that may be accompanied by local showers of rain.

These thunderstorms are expected to be particularly concentrated in the afternoon and evening hours, with the possibility of strong downward winds, increasing the chance of sandstorms in the affected areas.

It is recommended to follow weather forecasts via the Arab Weather app and exercise caution, especially in mountainous and desert areas, while paying attention to the effects of dust-raising winds and potential sandstorms during this period.

And God knows best.
