Saudi Arabia | Temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius in Riyadh and thunderstorms continue in these areas in the coming days

Arab Weather - The latest outputs of numerical computer models indicate that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will continue to be affected by a high pressure system in the upper atmosphere and the accompanying relatively hot to hot air mass across the lower atmosphere. As a result, temperatures will gradually rise starting Thursday and will increase on Friday and Saturday, so that they will be higher than their climatic averages by about 2-3 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius in Riyadh and hot weather in most areas

The weather in the coming days will be relatively hot to hot during the day, with maximum temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius in the capital, Riyadh, while the weather will remain moderate in the southwestern mountain range (the Kingdom's summer resorts) due to the elevation of these areas above sea level. The winds will be variable in direction and light to moderate, while they will be southwesterly and active in speed during the afternoon and evening periods in the Hail region, which will increase the concentration of dust and suspended dust in the atmosphere.

At night, temperatures drop and the weather tends to be moderate in the late night and dawn hours, while it is pleasant in the southwestern highlands, and tends to be cold over the high peaks.

Renewed chances of thunderstorms in the southwest of the Kingdom on Thursday

The southwestern highlands will continue to be affected by thunderstorms in the coming days, as cumulonimbus clouds multiply over parts of the Asir and Al-Baha highlands, extending to include parts of Taif. It is not unlikely that they will also extend towards the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region and may reach the holy sites, accompanied by thunderstorms of varying intensity, accompanied by hail and sudden winds.

God knows best.
