Arab Weather - The latest weather forecasts from Arab Weather indicate that thunderstorms are expected to affect three Gulf countries on Wednesday and continue through the end of the week.

Rain chances are high across large parts of Oman and the UAE on Wednesday and over the next two days, as a low-pressure system from the north affects the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, along with moist ocean currents from the east. This will, God willing, increase the chances of thunderstorms developing over large parts of the Al Hajar Mountains in Oman and some neighboring areas, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.

These rains are expected to be heavy for some periods in some areas of the Sultanate of Oman, before extending northwards to include some eastern and southern regions of the UAE, accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, thunder, hail, and downward winds.

Rain chances continue in southwestern Saudi Arabia

Southwestern Saudi Arabia continues to be affected by thunderstorms, with humidity continuing to flow into those areas. Thunderstorms are expected to develop in the highlands of the southwest of the Kingdom on Wednesday and in the coming days, accompanied by showers during the afternoon and evening hours.
