Saudi Arabia: Thunderstorms to spread across many regions of the Kingdom during the last third of August

From the Arab Weather Center - The latest computer simulation results at the Arab Weather Center indicate expectations that the flow of tropical moisture into the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will increase during the last third of August, which will lead to an expansion of the scope of thunderstorm activity to include new areas with rain opportunities, God willing, that were not included in the past weeks.

Areas covered by rain forecasts in the Kingdom in the last third of August

God willing, it is expected that the activity of cumulonimbus clouds will gradually increase in the coming days in the southwest and west of the Kingdom, including the regions of Najran, Jazan, Asir and Al-Baha, and will also reach different parts of the regions of Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Madinah Al-Munawwarah by the end of the week, and it is not unlikely that it will include the Holy Capital and the Prophet’s Mosque. The clouds will be accompanied by rain of varying intensity, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail in some areas, with expectations of heavy flow of valleys and ravines and rising water levels in the roads in some areas.

The same weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate expectations that the flow of tropical moisture into the Kingdom's atmosphere will increase in the middle and end of next week, coinciding with the intensification of the semi-tropical high in the north of the Kingdom, which will lead to an additional expansion in the area of thunderclouds to include large parts of the western region, reaching Tabuk. It is also not unlikely that some thunderclouds will extend to other areas of the Kingdom in a scattered manner, and this will be followed up in the coming days.

And God knows best.
