Saudi Arabia: Thunderstorms expected to return more widely in the second week of September.

Arab Weather - Specialists at the Arab Weather Regional Center are monitoring growing signs of a surge of tropical humidity and water vapor toward the southwestern part of the Kingdom early in the second week of September. This will fuel the formation of powerful thunderstorms in those regions.

Thunderstorms are expected to return more widely at the beginning of the second week of September.

Forecasts indicate significant weather changes during the first days of the second week of September as a result of the northward shift of the subtropical high pressure system. This will allow the tropical divide to advance to higher regions, pushing tropical humidity toward the south and west of the Kingdom.

From Jazan to Mecca and Taif

Cumulonimbus clouds are expected to increase in the skies of Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, and Taif, with rainfall accompanied by hail, occasional strong downward winds, and a high chance of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas.

The center is also monitoring the potential impact of these disturbances on Makkah and the holy sites, with some clouds likely to extend towards Jeddah in the form of downward winds that stir up dust or scattered thunderstorms.
