Rainfall performance improved in the desert regions after the recent weather event, but remained below average in other areas.

Arab Weather - On Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Kingdom was affected by a state of atmospheric instability, the main effects of which were concentrated in the southern regions of the Kingdom and the desert regions, where these regions witnessed heavy rainfall accompanied by wind activity and hail.

The eastern and southern desert regions recorded a remarkable improvement in rainfall performance during the recent weather event, according to data from the Meteorological Department. This improvement followed the rainfall that accompanied the recent weather event, as the rains contributed to raising the rainfall rates there compared to the beginning of the season, and some areas reached values closer to higher than their usual averages at this time of year.

In contrast, rainfall performance in most other regions within the Kingdom remains below seasonal averages so far, as climate data indicates that accumulated rainfall amounts in major cities and mountainous highlands are still below the general average, despite some slight improvement that has occurred recently.

Experts at the Arab Weather Center confirm that the return of rainfall performance to its normal levels in various regions requires widespread winter weather depressions in order to significantly improve rainfall performance.
