Saudi Arabia: Intensification of seasonal rains in the southwest of the Kingdom, God willing, starting at the end of the week, accompanied by lightning and hail.

From the Arab Weather Center - The latest weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate continued indicators of increased chances of rain in many areas of the southwest of the Kingdom and parts of its west, as of the end of this week, accompanied by the occurrence of thunderstorms and the falling of papyrus, including the Kingdom’s summer resorts.

Areas covered by rain in the Kingdom at the end of the week

Weather forecasters at the Arabia Weather Center said that very humid air masses are expected to flow into the southwestern region of the Kingdom starting at the end of the week, and this flow will continue for several weeks and is accompanied by the advance of what is known as the Illusory Tropical Separation (ITCZ), so that cumulonimbus clouds will multiply for a period. In the afternoon and evening, on the highlands of Jizan, Asir, and Al-Baha, all the way to the east of Mecca and Taif, it causes thunderstorms of varying intensity that may be accompanied by the fall of sedges in some areas, leading to significant flow of valleys and reefs and a rise in water levels.

It is also expected, God willing, that the Tihama areas will receive a share of the rainfall, and it is not unlikely that it will affect some coastal areas, especially the areas of the Jazan and Asir regions.

The same numerical outputs from the Arabia Weather Center as those for medium and long-term forecasts indicate that the chances of rain are expected to increase exponentially during the month of August in the southwest of the Kingdom, and to extend to other regions such as Medina and parts of the Riyadh region, God willing.
