Arab Weather - Forecasts indicate that thunderstorms will continue in a number of Arab countries in the coming days, as a result of the passage of cold air masses in the upper layers of the atmosphere, accompanied by the proliferation of cumulonimbus clouds, and the subsequent local showers of rain, which vary in intensity and geographical extent.

Thunderstorms in several parts of Saudi Arabia and Yemen

In detail, cumulus clouds are expected to increase over the highest southwestern highlands of the Kingdom, including the highlands of Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, and Taif, and thunderstorms of varying intensity are expected, according to the National Center.

Rain is also expected in many areas of Yemen, especially the western highlands, where rainfall is expected to vary from moderate to heavy, and be very heavy in some neighborhoods, accompanied by hail, with surface winds stirring up dust in some desert areas.

Thunderstorms are expected in northern North Africa and surrounding areas.

The latest weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the chances of rainfall will continue to be concentrated in the coming days in scattered areas of North Africa, including parts of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, as a result of the activity of some local weather disturbances.

Localized thunderstorms are also forming in parts of southern Algeria, southern Tunisia, and limited areas of Syria and Lebanon.

And God knows best.
