Saudi Arabia - Weather Update: Noticeable lightning activity accompanied by thunderstorms has been observed in several areas in the western part of the Kingdom.

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Center indicate thunderstorm activity in the highlands of the southwest of the Kingdom, with lightning radar showing dense, successive flashes of lightning during thunderstorm activity.

Meanwhile, cumulonimbus clouds are multiplying over parts of the Asir and Al-Baha highlands, and south of Taif. They are also likely to extend toward the Makkah region, potentially affecting the holy sites. Thunderstorms of varying intensity are expected, along with hail and gusty winds.

Meanwhile, satellite images are showing the growth of thunderstorms over parts of Al-Baha and the Northern Borders region, accompanied by thunderstorms and rain showers.

And God knows best.
