Saudi Arabia weather today

According to forecasts, the weather in Saudi Arabia today is witnessing a continued opportunity, God willing, for thunderstorm rain accompanied by active winds and hail showers in parts of the regions of Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha and Makkah Al-Mukarramah, as it is not excluded that fog will form in parts of those areas, in addition to the possibility of it forming in parts of the eastern region. These rains come as a result of the southwestern highlands being affected by a state of atmospheric instability that leads to the formation of cumulus thunderclouds.

In the same context, the active winds that cause dust and dust, according to Saudi Arabia’s weather today, continue to affect the coastal parts of the Medina and Tabuk regions, which may lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility in those areas, and drivers are advised to exercise caution and caution when driving on roads affected by these weather conditions.

The wave height will range from one to two meters in the northern and central part, and from half a meter to a meter, reaching above two meters with the formation of rainy thunderclouds in the southern part, making the sea condition light to medium waves in the northern and central parts, and light to medium waves reaching wavy with the formation of rainy thunderclouds in the southern part.

Saudi Arabia’s weather today indicates that the condition of the Arabian Gulf will be more stable, as the surface winds will be westerly to northwesterly in the northern and central parts, and easterly to southeasterly in the southern part, at a speed ranging between 10 to 25 kilometers per hour, while the wave height ranges from half a meter to a meter, and the sea condition is generally light.
