Heavy rains and lightning affect 10 Arab countries, raising fears of flash floods and flooding.

Arab Weather - Computer maps in Arab Weather indicate that several Arab countries will be affected by unstable weather conditions, resulting in the return of chances of thunderstorms during Friday, February 6, 2026 and Saturday, February 7, 2026, in parts of the Arabian Peninsula.

Heavy rains in several countries of the Arabian Peninsula and a series of low-pressure systems over North Africa

These unstable weather conditions include large parts of Saudi Arabia, as well as large areas of Iraq, and extend to include parts of Kuwait. There are also limited chances of rainfall in parts of Qatar and Bahrain.

The forecast also shows the possibility of rain extending to scattered areas of the UAE, especially the eastern regions, reaching as far as the Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman. The rain will be of varying intensity and may sometimes be accompanied by thunderstorms and local hail showers, in addition to increased wind speed that may lead to the formation of downdrafts that stir up dust waves in some areas.

At the same time, and God willing, a series of very cold and rainy low-pressure systems will continue to affect areas of the Maghreb, mainly including the Kingdom of Morocco, northern Algeria, and northern Tunisia during the coming days. These low-pressure systems will lead to a noticeable increase in wind speed, a significant and tangible decrease in temperatures, in addition to heavy rainfall in some areas, especially in the north of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Computer maps show the possibility of very heavy rainfall at times in northern Morocco, including areas that have been affected by floods in previous periods. This rainfall may be accompanied by thunderstorms and significant lightning activity, which increases the chances of flash floods and local water levels rising, and renews fears of flooding in some low-lying areas and valleys.

And God knows best.
