Indications of a distinct rainy spell at the start of the week

The latest analysis from the weather forecasting team via the Arab Weather app indicates that the rainy weather will begin to affect the Kingdom gradually starting from Sunday, beginning in the Tabuk region, and will later expand to include Al-Jawf, the Northern Borders, Madinah, and parts of Hail and Al-Qassim, with clouds increasing and moderate to heavy rain falling, which may be accompanied by hail showers and downdrafts.

It is characterized by strength and intensity in many areas.

The expected weather fluctuations are characterized by intensity and strength, as heavy and thundery rains are expected, which may lead to the flow of valleys and torrents in wide areas, especially in low-lying areas adjacent to torrents and valleys. It is also possible that the situation will be accompanied by waves of dense dust that reduce the horizontal visibility as a result of the descending wind, which calls for taking precautions while driving or moving around in these areas.

Weather experts advise adhering to safety guidelines, avoiding valleys during rainfall, and following the latest updates via the Arab Weather app for different regions of the Kingdom to stay informed about weather developments.
