Arab World | Areas affected by unstable weather conditions and rain forecast for Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Arab Weather - The latest weather updates and maps from our Regional Weather Center indicate that several regions across the Arab world will be affected tomorrow, Tuesday, July 8, 2025, by unstable weather conditions and seasonal rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms of varying intensity in some areas, especially in parts of the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and South Sudan, in addition to limited local rainfall opportunities in the Maghreb countries.

Monsoon rains resume in the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman.

In detail, unstable weather conditions are expected to return to the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman on Tuesday, as a result of the continued flow of humid monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea, coinciding with surface heating during the day. This will lead to rising air currents and the formation of cumulus clouds, accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, lightning, thunder, and strong downdrafts.

Some of these clouds are also likely to extend towards the eastern mountains of the UAE, causing local and limited rainfall.

Heavy rains in Yemen, with chances of rain extending to the highlands of western Saudi Arabia.

The same updated maps and weather maps indicate renewed cumulus cloud formation over the mountains of western Yemen, where humid seasonal winds and terrain are causing heavy thunderstorms with lightning and lightning activity. It's possible that these rains could lead to torrential floods in some areas, urging caution.

Cumulus clouds are also likely to appear over parts of the highlands of Jazan and Asir, accompanied by some local rain.

Sudan: Heavy thunderstorms and possible flooding in the south

In Sudan, Arab Weather experts predict that the southern parts of the country will again be affected by unstable weather conditions, with thunderstorms multiplying and moderate to heavy rainfall expected. The rains could potentially cause localized flooding in some areas.

Maghreb countries: Limited local rainfall likely to affect weather

In the Maghreb countries, the opportunity is expected to arise for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and localized, limited rainfall in parts of northern Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. This may be accompanied by active downdrafts and possibly dust storms in desert regions.

Monsoon rains in the Arab world: a natural phenomenon within the annual weather pattern.

Arab Weather experts confirm that the seasonal thunderstorms experienced in these regions in July are the result of the flow of seasonal moist winds that interact with ground heating and terrain factors, leading to the formation of rainy thunderclouds. These rains are part of the usual summer weather pattern, and while they are normal, they may temporarily affect some areas, necessitating constant monitoring of weather updates and taking the necessary precautions.
