Arab Weather - The National Center for Meteorology raised the weather warning level directed to the city of Riyadh to the red level, coinciding with the region being affected by a state of atmospheric instability expected to affect the city of Riyadh in the next few hours, as satellite images and rain radar show large quantities of cumulonimbus clouds approaching the capital’s atmosphere from the west.

Riyadh is expected to experience heavy rain, strong winds, hail showers, thunderstorms, lightning, flash floods, and reduced horizontal visibility due to the heavy rainfall.

The latest outputs of the numerical models available through the Arab Weather application and the outputs of the Saudi numerical model of the National Center for Meteorology still indicate that many regions of the Kingdom will continue to be affected by a rainy weather system of varying intensity.

And God knows best.
