Seasonal Newsletter | The city of Jeddah and chances of extended thunderstorms on some days of the summer months... Details

Sinan Khalaf - The weather forecast team at the Arab Regional Weather Center issued seasonal forecasts for the weather conditions in the Kingdom during the summer of 2024 AD, which indicate that the western and southwestern sectors of the Kingdom will be affected by seasonal rainfall that is higher than average. Will this rain include the city of Jeddah? The predictions team responded with the following:

Possible summer rains in Jeddah

A possible rush of cumulus clouds from Mecca towards the city of Jeddah during the month of August

As we enter the month of July, God willing, it is expected that an air high will be stationed in the northern regions of the Arabian Peninsula for most of the periods of July and August, and thus the tropical separator (ITCZ) will shift towards the north, which will allow waves of tropical humidity to flow into the southern and southwestern parts of the Arabian Peninsula.

This weather situation will allow the formation of cumulonimbus thunderstorm clouds on the mountainous highlands in the west of the Kingdom, such as the highlands of Taif and Makkah Al-Mukarramah, especially in the month of August, with a high chance of the remnants of thunderstorm activity extending westward towards the city of Jeddah on some days of the month, accompanied by thunderstorm rains and perhaps dust waves.
