Clarification - What is the fact that the Kingdom was affected by a typhoon during the weekend - a rainstorm that the country has not seen in years.
A number of social media outlets reported an exceptional rainstorm or a typhoon that will bring rain, floods and winds that break the 120 km / hour barrier.
Indeed, our region does not experience hurricanes, as conditions are not conducive to the formation of a tropical cyclone in the Mediterranean.
As for the rainstorm or a strong rainy state that affects the Kingdom, we cannot deny or even confirm that from now on.
Where there are several scenarios that are sensed by numerical weather models, and upon analysis, we find that there are several possibilities that we will review.
The first scenario - the Kingdom was affected by a situation called "Medicin", which combines the characteristics of the frontal depression and tropical or tropical cyclones, but it is not classified as a hurricane. Wind speeds must reach the 120 km barrier until they are classified as a hurricane, and this is not expected until now, which is an unlikely scenario.
The second scenario - a strong case of air instability that causes heavy rains, which increases the chances of floods forming.
The third scenario - the data received, faded, retracted or developed.
Consequently, it is difficult to say from now on for a period of prediction that exceeds the 100-hour forecast, and we cannot determine that, and a warning must be published. We will publish this three days before the case date, if necessary, and we invite you to the necessity not to pay attention to the rumors and circulate them and follow official sources, and we will provide more updates when the period approaches and nothing is certain .
God knows
