Arabian Gulf | Arab Weather reveals the three most prominent features of the rainy conditions in the southern Arabian Peninsula in the coming days.

Arab Weather - The Arab Weather forecast team expects Saudi Arabia to experience a series of consecutive weather events over the coming days, starting at the end of this week. These events are characterized by their severe impact and wide-ranging scope, accompanied by numerous weather phenomena that require caution and vigilance. The most prominent of these phenomena are:

Thunderstorms characterized by strong thunderstorms and frequent lightning

Thunderstorms are characterized by strong storms and frequent lightning strikes, a result of prevailing weather conditions. The rush of an upper wave toward the southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula, coupled with the deepening of a thermal depression in the southeast, leads to a clear deviation of the tropical divide over the region. This pushes large amounts of tropical moisture across the various layers of the atmosphere, resulting in unstable weather conditions.

This state of atmospheric instability, based on the prevailing weather systems mentioned above, is expected to be characterized by strong thunderstorms, such that cumulus clouds will form, characterized by severe thunderstorms and frequent lightning.

Strong downward winds, dust waves and poor visibility

Perhaps the most notable feature of this rainy season is the local sandstorms and dust waves generated by downdrafts accompanying thunderclouds. This rainy season follows a period of insufficient rainfall, accompanied by successive temperature rises. This has led to increased soil dryness, causing it to lose its cohesion and making it easily blown away by the wind, which increases the likelihood of sandstorms forming.

Random in nature, sometimes very abundant, accompanied by hail showers in narrow geographical areas.

These cases of atmospheric instability are also characterized by the local and random formation of thunderstorms. We may see some neighborhoods exposed to heavy rain and showers of heavy hail, while the sun is shining in the neighboring neighborhoods, so that the rain is heavy in narrow geographical areas.
