The Arab World | The tropical break affects 9 Arab countries with heavy rains and storms and rains rain on the skies of the driest regions in the world.
Weather of Arabia - In a striking weather phenomenon, the Arab world is witnessing a noticeable effect of the tropical break, which causes dramatic changes in weather conditions across nine Arab countries. This period is characterized by heavy rains and strong thunderstorms, creating weather disturbances affecting multiple areas in the region. But the most prominent effect is the manifestation of this phenomenon in some of the most arid regions of the world, where the skies witness rain, which is considered rare.
The tropical convergence interval affects 9 Arab countries and causes summer rains accompanied by thunderstorms
In details, the latest computer outputs received from the Arabian Regional Weather Center indicate that 9 Arab countries are affected by what is called the Intertropical Convergence Interval (ITCZ), which brings with it the flow of large amounts of tropical moisture, which, after God’s will, along with other weather factors, causes the formation of... Thick thunderclouds carrying heavy thundershowers, hail, and blowing winds. These weather conditions include (the Sultanate of Oman, the Emirates, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, and Djibouti, in addition to the driest regions in the world with the least rainfall, which are southern Egypt and southern Libya). These weather conditions cause torrents and the occurrence of water bodies in several areas.
Heavy thunderstorms affecting 9 countries on Monday, and a warning of the danger of flash floods
Forecasts from the Arabian Weather Center indicate that the UAE and Oman will be exposed on Sunday to weather disturbances resulting from the expansion of the tropical dividing line, with thunderclouds emerging over the Hajar Mountains and neighboring areas, leading to rain of varying intensity, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail, leading to significant flow of valleys and reefs. Floods may form in some areas. It is not unlikely that some rain clouds will extend to parts of the coast overlooking the Sea of Oman, and the same thunderclouds will extend towards parts of the Emirates, especially the city of Al Ain and its environs.
As for Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the activity of cumulonimbus clouds is renewed in the afternoon and evening hours over many regions, especially western Yemen and southwestern Saudi Arabia, represented by the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, and east of Mecca, including Taif, and may affect parts of the holy sites. These clouds are accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, accompanied by thunder and falling hail, which leads to flowing valleys and reefs.
As for Djibouti, Somalia, and Sudan, weather disturbances are severe in these areas, as rain falls at a high rate of intensity, with the occurrence of strong thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds, leading to the formation of torrents and floods.
The driest regions in the world are under heavy thunderstorms on Monday
The driest regions in the world will witness heavy rains on Monday, as weather disturbances renew in the afternoon hours and gradually intensify in the evening. Thick cumulus thunderclouds form over southern Egypt, including the governorates of southern Upper Egypt, including the Red Sea, Assiut, and Aswan governorates, and extending to include parts of the New Valley Governorate. Sometimes heavy rains are accompanied by hailstones and sudden strong winds, and the same weather conditions extend towards southern Libya.
What is the orbital convergence interval?
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is an area where the northeastern trade winds meet the southeastern trade winds. This region extends around the equator and is characterized by high temperatures and high humidity, which leads to the formation of dense clouds and heavy rainfall.
The ITCZ moves north and south with the change of seasons, affecting weather patterns in the equatorial and subtropical regions. This movement leads to the occurrence of rainy and dry seasons in those areas, as the location of the ITCZ is associated with monsoon activity and heavy rains, just as it happens in 9 Arab countries.
God knows.
