Unstable weather conditions in 13 Arab countries with thunderstorms expected until the end of the week

The Arab world will experience widespread atmospheric instability in the coming days, affecting 13 Arab countries, with chances of thunderstorms of varying intensity that will continue until the end of the week.

Weather updates indicate continued activity of cumulonimbus clouds in several areas, increasing the likelihood of rain showers that may be locally heavy at times, especially over mountainous and highland areas.

This weather pattern is expected to be accompanied by lightning and thunder activity, along with the possibility of flash floods in low-lying areas and valleys, especially in mountainous regions.

Arabian Peninsula

The chances of cumulonimbus cloud formation continue over the Sultanate of Oman, especially along the Hajar Mountains, with varying intensities of thunderstorms that may be locally heavy, accompanied by lightning, thunder and hail showers, which increases the likelihood of flash floods in valleys and streams.

In the United Arab Emirates, thunderstorms are active over the eastern highlands, with the possibility of them extending towards some inland areas.

In Saudi Arabia, the chances of thunderstorms continue over the highlands of Jazan, Asir and Al-Baha, with the possibility of some clouds extending towards parts of the Makkah region.

In Yemen, the weather remains unstable over the western highlands, with chances of thunderstorms that may be locally heavy, increasing the likelihood of flash floods in some valleys.

Levant

Forecasts indicate that parts of the eastern Mediterranean coast will continue to be affected by relatively humid air currents, leading to an increase in low and medium clouds.

This will result in scattered showers along the Syrian and Lebanese coasts and parts of the Palestinian coast, sometimes accompanied by limited thunderstorm activity. Low clouds and surface winds are also expected, along with a drop in temperatures in Jordan.

North Africa

Large areas of North Africa, including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, are experiencing intermittent thunderstorm activity, with varying intensities of rainfall at intervals.

Some rainfall may also be accompanied by wind activity that stirs up dust and sand, leading to reduced horizontal visibility in some areas.

Sudan

The flow of tropical moisture from the south continues, enhancing the activity of cumulonimbus clouds over large areas of South Sudan, with continued chances of rainfall throughout the day.

Atmospheric Summary

This situation is considered one of the relatively widespread atmospheric instability systems, given its broad geographical impact that includes 13 Arab countries.

The chances of thunderstorm development will continue during peak heat hours until the end of the week, with the need to follow weather updates continuously, especially in mountainous areas and valleys exposed to the possibility of flash floods.
