Today's weather in Saudi Arabia: Rain locations and temperatures

The National Center for Meteorology issued its detailed daily report on the weather in Saudi Arabia for today, Sunday, showing rainfall patterns and temperature changes across the Kingdom. This report comes as the Kingdom experiences significant weather fluctuations, ranging from heavy rain and strong winds to fog in several regions.

Climate context and seasonal variations

This weather pattern is part of the seasonal changes occurring in Saudi Arabia, where the region is affected by upper-level low-pressure systems, leading to atmospheric instability. These fluctuations are normal for this time of year, as cold air masses interact with warm, moist air currents, resulting in the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and rainfall of varying intensity, particularly in the northern regions and the western and southwestern highlands.

The importance of warnings and the impact of weather conditions

These forecasts are of paramount importance locally, as they directly impact traffic flow and public safety. With heavy rainfall and flash floods expected in areas such as Medina, Tabuk, and Hail, authorities consistently urge caution and advise staying away from valleys and wadis. Furthermore, strong winds carrying dust and sand, expected in Mecca and Riyadh, may reduce horizontal visibility, requiring drivers on highways and open roads to exercise caution.

Details of weather phenomena and rainfall locations

According to the weather forecast, there is a chance of moderate to heavy thunderstorms leading to flash floods, accompanied by hail and strong winds in parts of the following regions:

• AL Madinah AL Munawwarah
• Tabuk
• Hail
• Northern borders (Arar, Tarif)
• Al-Jawf (Sakaka, Al-Qurayyat)
• Parts of the Makkah region (including the coasts)

While there is still a chance of thunderstorms accompanied by active winds in parts of Al-Baha, Jazan and Asir regions, extending to include parts of the Eastern Province.
