Arab Weather - Satellite images and the newly operated lightning observer in the Arab Weather Center indicate the formation of a wide-ranging thunder cloud belt extending from the eastern coasts to parts of the Madinah region in the west. Thunder clouds are accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity and sometimes heavy.

 

With a thunder belt accompanying a cold air front that gradually moves to the southeast, and it is expected in the coming hours that the chances of rain will extend to the Riyadh region administratively and include opportunities for rain in the capital during the night hours, God willing, accompanied by a sharp drop in temperatures.
