Arab Weather - Parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are experiencing moderate weather conditions in terms of intensity and coverage. Thunderstorms are expected to hit scattered areas, along with dust storms caused by downdrafts in areas where thunderstorms form.

Areas covered by rain forecast for Sunday

In detail, the latest computer modeling outputs for simulating rainfall distribution indicate that cumulus clouds will increase again in the afternoon hours across the southwestern and western sectors of the Kingdom, namely scattered parts of the highlands of Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, all the way to Taif and the southern parts of the Medina region, followed by thunderstorms of varying intensity.

Rain chances include parts of Qassim and Riyadh.

The western parts of the Qassim and Riyadh regions will be affected in the evening by cumulonimbus cloud activity, accompanied by localized rain showers and active downdrafts that will stir up dust and dirt. This may lead to reduced horizontal visibility and possibly zero visibility on some external roads, and God knows best.
