Arab Weather - The latest outputs of computer simulation systems for rainfall forecasts indicate that many Arab countries will be affected during the last third of April by unstable weather conditions, bringing rain and lightning to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Sudan.

 

National Center for Meteorology

Spring rains continue to fall heavily in many parts of Saudi Arabia.

In Saudi Arabia, the National Center for Meteorology predicted that many regions of the Kingdom would continue to be affected during the coming days by spring rains, which are usually known for their high intensity, frequent lightning, thunder, thunderstorms, and sometimes heavy and accumulating hail showers, in addition to strong winds resulting from the activity of clouds and thunderclouds.

 

The center predicted that these rains, God willing, would include Riyadh, Hafr Al-Batin, the Eastern Province, the Northern Borders, and parts of Makkah, Madinah, Tabuk, Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, Al-Jawf and the Northern Borders with varying intensity.

 

Heavy thunderstorms and lightning in the mountains of western Yemen

In the same context, the unstable weather conditions and rainfall accompanied by lightning, thunder and thunderstorms will continue across the western highlands of Yemen, and it is possible that they will cause a rise in water levels in some areas, the flow of valleys and torrents, and perhaps temporary local floods.

 

Severe weather fluctuations in Iraq

Thunderstorms are expected in Kuwait and the eastern desert regions of Syria and Jordan.

It is expected, God willing, that large parts of Iraq will remain under the influence of unstable weather conditions, with clouds increasing and rain falling for several days, sometimes heavy and accompanied by lightning, thunder and hail, and sometimes extending to include Kuwait and the eastern desert regions of Syria and Jordan.

 

Rain and lightning of varying intensity in several African countries

This includes Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria.

 

In Sudan, daily rainfall is expected in the southern parts of the country, while various parts of northern and central Algeria, the Tell Atlas and Saharan Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and parts of northern Libya and Tunisia will be affected for several days by weather fluctuations and occasional moderate to heavy showers, accompanied by lightning, thunder, water accumulations, and the flow of valleys and torrents.

And God knows best.
