Weather of Arabia - The Arabian Peninsula is climatically affected during the summer by the progression of the so-called tropical belt (ITCZ), which is a convergence area of the northeastern and southeastern trade winds, and this convergence leads to ascending air currents that form cumulus clouds and thunderstorms. This belt is parts of the Arabian Peninsula, especially the southern parts of it, and it may sometimes deepen in an unusual way, as happened in the past few years, and cause rare rains in some areas.
And the latest weather readings indicate that there is a timid and temporary progression of the tropical belt in the south of the Arabian Peninsula at the end of this week (the days of Eid), and it causes a wave of local cumulus formations on parts of the Hajar Mountains and the deserts of the Sultanate of Oman and the Emirates, and cumulus clouds extend to the southern parts From the Empty Quarter, God willing, with a rise in surface humidity in the south of the Arabian Peninsula and a relative drop in temperatures.
And this belt continues to advance into the atmosphere of the Arabian Peninsula (climatically) during the months of July and August, which contributes directly to the activity of wind rain on the mountains of Oman and the Emirates, in addition to the intensification of cumulus clouds on the heights of southern Saudi Arabia and Yemen with the occurrence of torrential rains in some areas.
And according to the seasonal weather forecast issued by the "Arab Weather" center, it is expected that the extension of the orbital interval ITCZ will increase in the regions of the region (July and August), and despite this, its activity is expected to be less than usual, with the formation of cumulus clouds in some days on the south and south Western Saudi Arabia and the Empty Quarter, with thunderstorms that are heavy at times and lead to a flow of torrential rains, in addition to the activity of windy rain on the mountains of Oman and the Emirates.
