The latest computer modeling outputs for rainfall forecasts, available for free on the Arab Weather app, indicate that large amounts of tropical moisture will flow towards the southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula over the next 48 hours, leading to thunderstorms in a number of countries, according to the following details:

 

Sultanate of Oman: Heavy thunderstorms and downward winds expected

In detail, various parts of the Sultanate of Oman are expected to witness several weather phenomena over the next 48 hours, including the development of cumulus clouds and showers of varying intensity, which may be heavy at times and accompanied by hail, in addition to lightning, thunder, and active downwind.

 

UAE: Thunderstorms in random areas

Although the chances of rain have been limited over the eastern mountains of the UAE in recent days, chances are set to improve again, potentially extending to Al Ain and the interior of Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman. The clouds could also extend their effects to some coastal areas, bringing downwind and dust.

 

Heavy rains and widespread flooding in Saudi Arabia

God willing, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is expected to be increasingly affected by seasonal weather fluctuations, but with increasing intensity, such that large amounts of cumulonimbus clouds will appear over the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, with moderate to heavy rainfall intermittently, including coastal areas. Rain chances will also extend to include Taif and Makkah Al-Mukarramah, in addition to parts of Najran and the far south of the Madinah region.

 

Yemen is under the direct influence of thunderstorms.

In Yemen, most regions, especially the mountainous regions, are expected to be affected by these weather fluctuations. Cumulonimbus clouds are expected to form and heavy rains are expected, sometimes accompanied by hail.
