Saudi Arabia: The areas covered by thunderstorms in the Kingdom on Tuesday 5-30-2023

Weather of Arabia - The latest weather readings indicate that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is expected to remain under the influence of widespread weather disturbances on Tuesday, as a result of the continued concentration of a cold upper basin in the eastern Mediterranean, in conjunction with the flow of subtropical and very humid air currents from the south, God willing.

Details of the areas covered by rain in the Kingdom on Tuesday

It is expected, God willing, that the activity of cumulus clouds will renew during the afternoon and evening of Tuesday on the southwestern highlands represented by several parts of Jizan and the highlands of Asir and Al-Baha to the east of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, including Taif, and these clouds are accompanied by medium to heavy rains that are accompanied by the occurrence of Thunderstorms and hailstones.

Cumulus rain clouds extend to different parts of the regions of Medina, Hail and Qassim, up to the northern borders, north and west of the Riyadh region administratively, and north of the eastern region, and these rains are heavy in some parts, which may lead to runoff of valleys and reefs.

While the chances of rain decline in the northwestern regions, this does not prevent the formation of some scattered and local clouds, including some parts of Al-Jawf and Tabuk.

On a related level, thunderclouds are expected to be actively associated with so-called downward winds, which come suddenly and some of their gusts exceed 100 km/h, which may lead to the formation of temporary dust storms in some areas.

Based on the above, there are a number of important recommendations that must be taken seriously regarding weather conditions on Tuesday, including:

• The need to pay attention to the dangers of flowing valleys and reefs in some areas.
• Installing external holdings due to the danger of strong downward winds that come temporarily.
• Be aware of the low horizontal visibility due to the possibility of dust accompanying thunderclouds.
• Do not use electronic devices outside when there are cumulus thunderstorms, and take shelter inside buildings when lightning strikes

God knows best and highest.
