Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Center indicate the beginning of the accumulation of cumulonimbus clouds over the mountain ranges in the western part of the Kingdom, starting from the Asir region, passing through the Al-Baha region, and reaching the highlands of Medina and Mecca, with rainfall beginning to fall in parts of these regions.

This type of cloud is known to become active during peak solar heating, and is accompanied by thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds that can trigger dust storms in desert areas.

And God knows best.
