Arab Weather - The Kingdom was affected yesterday, Wednesday, by a Khamaseen depression, which may be the strongest this season in terms of the weather phenomena that accompanied it, including heavy dust storms that affected various regions of the Kingdom.

The activity of Khamasin depressions is common in the region as a whole at this time of year. However, compared to last season, the activity of Khamasin depressions was weak, and the Kingdom was not affected by successive Khamasin depressions as is happening now.

What comes after the Khamaseen depression? Have the chances of rain and dust ended with the beginning of May?

Arab Weather forecasters answer these questions by saying that the activity of the Khamaseen depressions typically continues normally until May 10th of each year, extending to mid-May in some years. Chances of spring rain and unstable conditions remain until shortly before the summer solstice, which begins on June 21st of each year.

The latest weather forecasts indicate that the weather will remain pleasant and spring-like on Friday and Saturday, with unstable weather conditions affecting the Kingdom at the beginning of the week on Sunday and Monday, increasing the chances of scattered showers in some areas. Forecasts for the period after next Monday indicate a return to stable weather conditions and a gradual rise in temperatures.
