Saudi Arabia: Unseasonal weather fluctuations associated with thunderstorms, strong downwinds, and dust storms in several regions of the Kingdom in the coming period

Weather of Arabia - The latest weather readings indicate expectations that the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be affected in the coming days by an air depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere, in conjunction with a movement in the subtropical air elevation, and these weather conditions provoke the flow of water vapor with tropical characteristics of the region. And this leads to the influence of the Arabian Peninsula, including the Kingdom, in the coming period, that is, it may continue until the end of this May, with weather fluctuations that include chances of thunderstorms, strong downward winds, and dust storms in some areas, God willing.

Wednesday: Thunderstorms in the far southwest of the Kingdom and extend to parts of southern Riyadh

It is expected, God willing, that the opportunity will be created in the afternoon of Wednesday for cumulus clouds to multiply over Najran and the heights of eastern Jizan and Asir, and these clouds will be accompanied by medium to heavy rains accompanied by the occurrence of thunderstorms and the fall of grains of hail, which leads to the flow of valleys and reefs in some areas.

And gradually extend during the day some cumulus clouds to the Riyadh region administratively, which are concentrated in the southern governorates of the region, including Al-Kharj, Al-Aflaj, and Wadi Al-Dawasir, and are accompanied by medium rains, most of which are accompanied by the occurrence of thunder sometimes.

It is also expected that thunderclouds will be accompanied by what is called severe downward winds in their areas of existence, whose gusts may reach more than 100 km/h, which also leads to the emergence of dense dusty waves, and these winds require the installation of external holdings and driving with extreme caution during their occurrence.

Thursday and Friday: the expansion of cumulus rain clouds to include different parts of the southwest, center and east of the Kingdom

And the outputs of computer simulations indicate expectations of a deepening of the depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the Kingdom’s atmosphere at the end of the week, in conjunction with the flow of quantities of tropical water vapor to the region, so that the influence of cumulus clouds intensifies and expands, which is accompanied by rains of varying intensity, active winds and lightning strikes. .

Based on the foregoing, it is expected that an opportunity will gradually emerge on Thursday for moderate to heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms on the heights of Jizan, Asir and Al-Baha, in addition to the eastern parts of the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region. And some cumulus clouds extend to the south of Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah region and separate parts of Riyadh, Al-Qassim and Al-Sharqiya, with mostly moderate rains accompanied by strong downward winds that lead to the occurrence of dust waves in some areas.

And the rains will renew on Friday on the southwestern highlands, in addition to separate parts of Riyadh and the eastern region, and it may affect limited parts in general from the northern borders and Al-Qassim, God willing.
