Arab Weather - Weather forecasts indicate renewed chances of thunderstorms in several Arab countries in the coming days, as cumulus clouds increase in the afternoon and evening, accompanied by showers of varying intensity.

Areas covered by rain and lightning forecasts in the coming days:

Saudi Arabia and Yemen: Cumulus clouds continue over the highlands of Asir, Al-Baha, parts of the Empty Quarter, and southern Riyadh, bringing rainfall of varying intensity, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and dust-raising winds. Rainfall also extends to most parts of Yemen, potentially heavy locally, with active surface winds in desert areas.

Sultanate of Oman: Tropical moisture continues to flow, leading to changeable weather ranging from partly cloudy to cloudy at times, with a chance of drizzle, especially in areas overlooking the Arabian Sea, including Salalah. The drizzle is likely to be heavy at times. Thunderstorms are also likely to form over the Al Hajar Mountains, bringing variable rainfall.

UAE: Clouds are expected to form at varying altitudes, with heavy rain showers expected on the east coast and mountains. Local thunderstorms are also possible, especially in the southern regions, including Al Ain.

Syria and Lebanon: Unstable weather conditions are expected on Wednesday and Thursday, with the potential for heavy thunderstorms, sometimes accompanied by heavy rains, along the coast and some inland areas. Rainfall is likely to be concentrated in Latakia and its surrounding areas, potentially raising water levels locally.

The Maghreb and Sudan: Tropical humidity waves are also reaching several parts of the Maghreb, especially the western and southern parts of Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, and Sudan, accompanied by heavy thunderstorms, hail, and downward winds.

And God knows best.
