Arab Weather - The latest satellite images show the rapid development of cumulonimbus clouds west of the Qassim region, in addition to the eastern parts of the Medina region, the northwest of the Riyadh region, some eastern parts of the Mecca and Taif regions, and parts of the Asir and Al-Baha highlands, as these regions witness rainfall of varying intensity.

 

Over the coming hours, rain clouds are expected to approach Ar Rass, Ad Dawadmi, Shaqra, and Al Majma'ah, where thunderstorms are expected to fall. Some rain clouds are also likely to extend toward the northern and western parts of Riyadh, potentially causing showers of rain, preceded by active dust-raising winds.

 

The Arab Weather app will issue more updates on the weather conditions as soon as anything new occurs.
