Saudi Arabia | 7 important points that make the rainy situation on Saturday and Sunday a special case

Arab weather - it is not a passing rain situation at all, but rather an exceptional rain situation that will be affected by many regions of the Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday, God willing, in conjunction with the crossing of a cold air front to the region’s atmosphere, and perhaps the most prominent thing that will make this rain situation a distinct and exceptional case are the following points :

• The mechanism of the emergence of the rainy state, which is considered a composite state *, arising as a result of the eruption of a cold upper basin in conjunction with the response of warm moisture from the Arabian Sea (due to the presence of an air high in the lower layers of the atmosphere over the Arabian Sea) and in response to tropical moisture to the east, and finally the intrusion of additional humid winds from The Arabian Gulf towards the eastern coasts, raises the momentum of the weather and increases its strength over those areas.

• Its inclusion of areas that suffered from rain shortage during summer, autumn and the beginning of winter, such as the eastern and central parts of the Kingdom, including Riyadh and Dammam.

• The building strength of cumulus clouds, and the intense thunder activity accompanying them from the abundance of lightning and lightning strikes.

​

• The intensity and abundance of rain, and the possibility of torrential rains and a rise in the water level in large areas, especially in the Riyadh and Eastern regions.

​

• The intensity of hail showers, which may be cumulative, and in large sizes

• The intensity of the downward winds associated with this type of thunderclouds, which may cause some damage to farms and ranches in desert areas.

• The intensity of the downward winds may cause the formation of sandstorms and local dust waves that greatly reduce the horizontal visibility.
