important | Thunder clouds rushing towards Riyadh and possible rain in the next hour

Arab Weather - Meanwhile, a belt of rainy thunder clouds is rushing from the east towards the city of Riyadh, where it is expected that during the next hour, God willing, thunder showers of rain will fall, sometimes heavy and accompanied by showers of hail.

It is noteworthy that the region is affected by an air mass with high humidity coming from the Arabian Sea, which works on the emergence of unstable weather conditions, which are concentrated in the southern parts of the Riyadh region, but extend to include the city of Riyadh at intervals, in the period between the afternoon and evening of Saturday and until the evening of Saturday Monday.

The nature of this expected weather condition takes on a local character, so that cumulus thunder clouds form randomly in the sky of the capital and its surrounding areas, and some neighborhoods and roads in the city of Riyadh may witness rain, while neighboring neighborhoods and roads are witnessing an atmosphere closer to stable.

It is also usually associated with the activity of the descending currents resulting from the activity of cumulus thunderclouds, which in turn may create dust waves from time to time, limiting the horizontal visibility.

Arabia Weather recommends the residents of Riyadh and the surrounding areas the following:

• Be aware of the intensity of the downward air currents associated with thunderstorms
• The abundance of rain that will take a local character so that it will be heavy in limited ranges only
• Sand storms and dust waves that may rush towards the capital due to downward winds associated with thunderstorms in the surrounding areas
