Update 5:10PM | Monitoring a mass of thunder clouds south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah now.. Details

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The latest rain radar images we have received in Arab weather show the formation of thunderstorms in the south of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, interspersed with showers of varying intensity.

Will these thunder clouds affect the city of Mecca?

The latest satellite images of the Arab weather indicate the movement of these clouds towards the east, but it is not excluded that parts of the city of Mecca will be affected by the edges of these clouds, and perhaps the accompanying downward winds in the form of dust waves accompanied by a decrease in the range of horizontal visibility, and the Arab weather will issue more updates in the event of approaching Clouds from the city of Mecca.
