Makkah | Increased chances of thunderstorms and rain on Thursday.. Details

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - Our latest weather forecasts at Arab Weather indicate, thank God, an improvement in the chances of rain in the Taif and Makkah Al-Mukarramah regions, including the holy sites, starting from Wednesday, as they are expected to be affected by weather conditions that may bring with them thunderstorms of varying intensity.

May be accompanied by down winds and dust.

Possible thunderstorms in scattered parts of Taif and Makkah

In detail, parts of the Taif and Makkah regions are likely to be affected by an influx of moisture in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which will lead to the formation of locally cumulonimbus clouds, which will cause thunderstorms of varying intensity in random areas, with some locally heavy foci. Surface winds will also be active, causing dust and sandstorms before the rain falls.

We note that it is possible to follow the movement of rain clouds and their intensity in the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region via satellite from here

Arab Weather warns during the rainy weather of:
