Will Saudi Arabia be affected by the first widespread low-pressure system for the rest of the month?

Arab Weather - With the approach of fall, lovers of rainy and winter weather begin to anticipate the latest weather news, and enthusiasts follow weather maps to track the expected conditions in the Kingdom. Some also seek to film and share videos of these phenomena on the X platform (formerly Twitter) to share these weather events with the public.

Will Saudi Arabia be affected by a low pressure system and rain?

According to the latest computer weather maps from the Arabia Weather Center, developed using artificial intelligence techniques, there are no clear signs yet that Saudi Arabia will be affected by widespread rainfall. These types of events typically occur when upper air depressions from the north cross into the Kingdom.

The current climate pattern continues, characterized by a strong high pressure system in the upper atmosphere that acts as a barrier to the advance of cold air masses, preventing upper-level depressions from reaching the Kingdom. Furthermore, the break in the jet stream is insufficient for the low pressure systems coming from the north and west to reach the Kingdom, as most of these depressions are concentrated in the region of Türkiye and the Black Sea.

Rain is expected to continue in the same areas in the coming days.

Although the Kingdom has not been affected by widespread weather, forecasts indicate continued limited rainfall in high-altitude areas in the southwest of the Kingdom, particularly in Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha. These showers may occasionally extend to the Makkah region, including the holy sites, but they will remain sporadic and limited, with relatively stable conditions in the rest of the region.

Gradual improvement in weather conditions and increased chances of rain in the coming months.

With the official arrival of fall, weather systems are expected to begin a gradual and slow improvement, as the high pressure system gradually weakens and the jet stream deepens southward. This means increased chances of widespread rainfall in the coming months, especially in the second half of fall.
