Rain, thunderstorms, and hail are expected in 18 Arab countries.

Arab Weather - The latest weather forecasts indicate that large areas of North Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula will experience significant weather disturbances in the coming period, due to a change in the weather patterns across the region. This is characterized by the dominance of a strong high-pressure system over significant parts of the European continent, allowing cold air masses in the upper atmosphere to move towards the region. This coincides with the response of the Red Sea trough and the extension of tropical moisture, leading to widespread atmospheric instability.

These weather disturbances are expected to be accompanied by thunderstorms of varying intensity, which may sometimes be heavy and accompanied by hail and thunderstorm activity in several Arab countries.

Full details are available in the weather report with colleague Omar Al-Dajani.
