About 20 days before the writing of this report, a number of simultaneous oppressive cyclones were monitored on the beach of Jazan, during which it was affected by a strong state of atmospheric instability. At sea or on land, and the following are scenes of what was documented on October 8, 2020 AD:

Hurricane Sakaka 2020

On December 5, 2020, the northern parts of the Kingdom, specifically the city of Sakaka, were affected by a strong state of atmospheric instability, which worked to form a huge tornado in an empty area, and it was documented in scenes that appear to the viewer as if they were captured in the plains of Texas and Arizona, but in fact they were documented in Sakaka , in the Al-Jawf region inside the territory of Saudi Arabia.

Hurricane Rafha 2018

Hurricane Qassim 2000m

A special day that will remain engraved in the photographer's memory, 11-17-2000 AD, the day when the lands of the Kingdom witnessed one of the strongest and rarest hurricanes ever recorded in modern history, as a very rare oppressive cyclone hit the western parts of Al-Qassim region, captured by the lens of photographer Saleh Al-Harbi.

Returning to the archival maps, we find the formation of the tornado came as a result of severe weather disturbances in the layers as a result of the rush of the Red Sea depression from the south and its meeting with another air depression that extends in the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere over the Levant and extends to northern Saudi Arabia.

As a result, a strong state of atmospheric instability was formed, as cumulus thunderclouds multiplied, and strong thunderstorms began to strike the area, and soon a larger form developed to turn into a strong and rare cyclone.
