As of next Wednesday, the state is expected to be impacted by an extension of a surface air depression from the Red Sea. Humid southeasterly winds will also be present, along with an air depression from the northwest and an air current in the upper atmosphere.
The National Center of Meteorology has issued a forecast indicating the imminent impact of a surface depression originating from the Red Sea, poised to affect the country from the forthcoming Wednesday onward. This weather system will produce humid southeasterly winds, a depression from the northwest, and an upper atmospheric air current.
These atmospheric conditions will foster the advancement of diverse cloud formations, including cumulonimbus clouds, heralding the onset of moderate to heavy rainfall. Scattered areas may experience intermittent lightning and thunder, with the potential for hail.
The weather disturbance is anticipated to commence in the western regions on Wednesday night before extending across most parts of the country on Thursday, particularly concentrated in the western regions, coastal areas, and select eastern regions. The forecast highlights the formation of local cumulus rain clouds and the likelihood of hail precipitation in eastern areas, which may extend to certain inland and western regions.
As the week progresses, a gradual decrease in cloud cover is expected by Friday and Saturday. Despite this, there remains a persistent chance of light to moderate rainfall, possibly intensifying in some southern and eastern areas. Forecasters predict southeasterly to northeasterly wind patterns that range from moderate to active, occasionally reaching strong velocities, particularly in association with cumulus clouds. These winds may exacerbate visibility issues due to dust and dirt, resulting in low horizontal visibility.
Furthermore, forecasters predict moderately turbulent sea conditions that occasionally turn turbulent, especially in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman during cloud activity.
