Arab Weather - The Kingdom was affected at dawn today, Thursday, March 19, 2026, by strong thunderstorms that led to heavy rainfall accompanied by hail showers in many areas, causing flash floods, rising water levels, and the formation of water pools in several areas.
The latest computer simulation outputs at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom will continue to be affected today by a state of atmospheric instability, with a noticeable drop in temperatures and relatively cold weather with intermittent showers, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. These showers will sometimes be accompanied by thunderstorms, particularly in the western regions of the Kingdom, with the possibility of them extending towards some eastern regions.
During the night hours of Thursday/Friday, the Kingdom is expected to be gradually affected by very cold and humid westerly air currents, especially during the late hours of the night and the dawn and morning of Friday, which will lead to a further decrease in temperatures and a change in the atmosphere to become noticeably cold and cloudy, with rainfall in many northern and central regions, extending to some southern highlands. This rainfall will be heavy at times, accompanied by the formation of dense fog over the high mountain peaks as a result of the passage of low clouds touching the ground.
On Friday, the Kingdom will continue to be affected by cold and humid air currents, especially during the morning hours, with foggy, cold, and partly to mostly cloudy weather. There will be continued chances of rain in the northern and central regions, especially during the early morning hours, with these chances gradually decreasing during the afternoon and evening hours, and later being limited to the far northern regions.
And God knows best.
