Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The latest satellite images and rain radar show a striking cumulonimbus of thunderstorms between Al-Ahsa and Riyadh, where these clouds cause thunder showers of rain.

The forecast staff in the Arab weather monitors the possibility of the capital Riyadh being affected by these clouds, and will issue the necessary alerts and reports as soon as it approaches the capital.

The nature of this expected weather condition takes on a local character, so that cumulus thunder clouds form randomly in the sky of the capital and its surrounding areas, and some neighborhoods and roads in the city of Riyadh may witness rain, while neighboring neighborhoods and roads are witnessing an atmosphere closer to stable.

It is also usually associated with the activity of the descending currents resulting from the activity of cumulus thunderclouds, which in turn may create dust waves from time to time, limiting the horizontal visibility.

Arabia Weather recommends the residents of Riyadh and the surrounding areas the following:

• Be aware of the intensity of the downward air currents associated with thunderstorms
• The abundance of rain that will take a local character so that it will be heavy in limited ranges only
• Sand storms and dust waves that may rush towards the capital due to downward winds associated with thunderstorms in the surrounding areas
