Arab World: Thunderstorms expected in 4 countries. These are the most prominent areas covered by the rain forecast.

Arab Weather - Forecasts indicate that thunderstorms will continue across a number of Arab countries on Thursday and Friday. This is due to the region being affected by an easterly wave, accompanied by the proliferation of cumulus clouds during the afternoon and evening hours, followed by localized showers of rain, varying in intensity and geographical scope.

Thunderstorms in several parts of Saudi Arabia and Yemen

In detail, cumulus clouds are expected to increase on Thursday over the far southwestern highlands of the Kingdom, including the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, with a less severe possibility of extending to the highlands of the Makkah region, especially Taif, and extending to parts of the Madinah region. Thunderstorms of varying intensity are expected, with the possibility of thunderstorms extending to some coastal areas.

Rainfall is also expected to affect many areas in Yemen, particularly the western highlands, where rainfall is expected to range from moderate to heavy, with heavy rainfall in some areas. It will be accompanied by hail, with active surface winds causing dust storms in some desert areas.

Monsoon rains intensify in Oman and affect the UAE

As for the details and their direct impact on the Sultanate's atmosphere, the air trough is expected to deepen further, with the rainy conditions expected to reach their peak impact on the Sultanate's atmosphere tomorrow, God willing. Large quantities of cumulonimbus clouds will multiply in the Sea of Oman and gradually push into the interior regions. These clouds will be accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, sometimes heavy.

The impact is expected to indirectly affect the UAE, with cloud cover expected to increase on Thursday and Friday across the eastern and southeastern parts of the country, including Al Ain. This is likely to bring varying amounts of rainfall, which may sometimes be accompanied by thunderstorms and dust-raising winds.

And God knows best.
