Saudi Arabia | Will the Kingdom be affected by the tropical situation expected in the Arabian Sea?

Arabia Weather - The weather forecast team at the Arab Regional Weather Center is monitoring the latest developments in the mass of cumulus thunderclouds currently positioned to the east of the Arabian Sea, which is likely to develop into a tropical depression on Friday and Saturday, with a high probability of it moving towards the middle of the Arabian Sea.

Regarding this, Arabia Weather received many questions about the extent of the possibility of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia being affected, directly or indirectly, by these clouds, especially its southern sector, if it succeeds in developing later into a tropical depression, storm, or even a tropical cyclone, which is what we can answer. With the following:

First: There is no direct impact of cumulonimbus thunderstorm clouds centered in the Arabian Sea on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the next 5 days.

Second: Despite the initial indications, which express a relatively high possibility of these clouds developing and gradually moving towards the middle of the Arabian Sea, it is so far difficult to determine their path, given that they are still very far from the southern coasts of the Arabian Peninsula at the present time.

Third: If the tropical situation succeeds in developing and affects the southern sector of the Arabian Peninsula, then the southwestern parts of the Kingdom may be affected by the remnants of tropical moisture in the form of cumulonimbus thunderstorm clouds in some areas.
