7 Arab countries under lightning and rain this weekend

Arab Weather - Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center predict that several Arab countries will be affected by unstable weather conditions and rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunderstorms during the weekend holiday. These countries include Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, Algeria, Tunisia, and Sudan.

Accompanied by lightning and hail

Cumulus clouds and rain over the mountains of Saudi Arabia and Yemen

According to the latest outputs of numerical models for tracking wind movement and rain forecasts, the western parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will remain during the weekend under the influence of humid tropical winds, specifically in the regions of Jazan, Asir and Al-Baha, and may extend to include parts of Taif, which will lead to the proliferation of cumulus clouds in the afternoon and evening hours, and rainfall in the form of showers accompanied by lightning, thunder and hail.

Yemen will not be far behind this weekend, as it is also expected to be affected by a tropical moisture system that will collide with the western mountains, resulting in the formation of cumulus clouds and heavy rain showers of varying intensity, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and lightning. This calls for caution and vigilance.

Sultanate of Oman and the UAE: Renewed cloud formation and seasonal rains

Cumulus clouds and seasonal rainfall are expected to resume over scattered parts of the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman, potentially extending to limited areas of the eastern UAE highlands. These rains are expected to be accompanied by lightning, thunder, and dust-raising winds.

Rainfall decreases in the north

Sudan's rains are concentrated in the center and south of the country.

Meteorologists also predict that central and southern Sudan will be affected by seasonal rains as tropical moisture continues to flow into the country. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which could lead to rising water levels and localized flooding of valleys.

May cause water levels to rise

Heavy rain clouds hit Tunisia and Algeria

Both Tunisia and Algeria are expected to be increasingly affected by a highly active low-pressure system, which will bring heavy cloud cover and rain to the northern parts of Algeria and all of Tunisia, with the exception of the southern part. These areas are expected to experience heavy rains, accompanied by thunder and lightning, with an increased chance of localized flooding in some parts of Tunisia. And God knows best.
