Saudi Arabia: Thunderstorms intensify to include wider areas, and additional moisture is expected at the end of the week.

Arab Weather - The latest weather map readings from Arab Weather indicate increased chances of thunderstorms in the southwest of the Kingdom toward the end of this week, with expectations of more tropical moisture flowing into the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere, which will help, God willing, expand the cumulus clouds to cover wider areas.

Additional moisture flow and cumulus clouds cover wider areas.

Arab Weather forecasters said that forecasts indicate that the upper high pressure system will move further northward toward the Arabian Peninsula by the end of this week, centering over the Levant, allowing more tropical moisture to flow toward the southwest and west of the Kingdom.

Forecasts indicate increased chances of thunderstorms and the formation of strong cumulus clouds over parts of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, reaching the highlands south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, specifically Taif. These will be accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, occasional heavy hail, and downward winds that may be strong at times in some areas during the formation of cumulus clouds.

Chances of moisture flowing to the south of the Medina region

Due to the continued tropical moisture flow, rain is expected to reach parts of the areas south of Medina by the end of the week, especially on Friday and Saturday, with less intensity than in the other affected areas.
