Saudi Arabia on the verge of the first weather condition this year, bringing thunderstorms to 14 administrative regions

Specialists at the Arab Weather Regional Center are monitoring the latest computer modeling outputs, which clearly indicate that large areas of the Kingdom will be affected early next week by a state of atmospheric instability, which will lead to renewed rainfall on a large scale after a period of interruption.

Initial forecast of thunderstorms in 14 regions next week

Arab Weather experts believe that initial data shows that the Kingdom will begin to be affected by a state of atmospheric instability starting from Sunday evening, starting from the Tabuk region, with cumulonimbus clouds multiplying and showers of varying intensity falling, with the scope of its impact expanding to include Al-Jawf and the northern borders.

Rain is expected to extend during the dawn and morning hours of Monday to include Madinah, then Makkah and Taif during the day, and parts of Hail, Qassim and Hafar Al-Batin, then extend later towards the northern parts of the Riyadh region and the northern Eastern Region, reaching Al-Baha and perhaps parts of Jazan and Asir, accompanied by rain of varying intensity.

The weather forecast team identified the most prominent weather phenomena expected to affect the Kingdom as follows:

• Widespread cumulonimbus clouds.
• Lightning and thunder activity with increased risk of lightning strikes.
• Chance of hail showers.
