Saudi Arabia weather today: Heavy rain in Riyadh and Dammam and temperatures
The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia revealed details of the expected weather conditions today, indicating significant weather fluctuations affecting several regions, ranging from moderate to heavy rainfall and a drop in temperatures, especially in the central and eastern regions.
Weather details in Riyadh and Dammam
According to a statement issued by the center, the capital, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, specifically the city of Dammam, are experiencing unstable weather conditions. Dammam recorded a high of 22 degrees Celsius, while Riyadh recorded 23 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are accompanied by forecasts of thunderstorms that may lead to flash floods in some valleys and ravines, necessitating caution.
The climatic context and the importance of the rainy season
This rainfall is part of the typical climatic patterns in the Arabian Peninsula during this time of year, as the Kingdom is affected by approaching low-pressure systems that contribute to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and rainfall. These rains are of great environmental and economic importance, as they contribute to irrigating desert vegetation and replenishing the strategic groundwater reserves, which positively impacts the agricultural and pastoral seasons in the country.
Warnings and safety guidelines
Due to the weather conditions, which include reduced horizontal visibility and active surface winds, the relevant authorities, including the Civil Defense, stress the need to follow safety guidelines, such as staying away from flood channels and low-lying areas, and exercising caution while driving on highways and open roads.
