Arab Weather - Recent weather analyses indicate serious developments in the Strait of Hormuz, where the region is expected to be affected by a series of exceptional weather events. These powerful thunderstorms could disrupt maritime traffic in the strait due to strong winds and high waves from Monday until next Thursday.

 

Weather forecasts indicate that air masses with different characteristics will meet in the skies over the strait, leading to the formation of giant cumulonimbus clouds with heavy rain and hail showers, and increasing the likelihood of tornadoes and waterspouts.

 

These weather fluctuations will affect the Gulf countries overlooking the strait, such as the UAE, Oman, and Iran, where these countries are expected to experience heavy rain and strong winds. Therefore, sailors and companies are advised to take the highest levels of caution to avoid risks in the coming days.
