Translated by Qiyas from الأنباء — Original source
The Director of the Meteorology Department, Deputy Director Dharar Al-Ali, stated that the country experienced scattered light rainfall since yesterday morning, which is expected to continue in the coming days. The chances of rain will increase next Thursday, with occasional thunderstorms, accompanied by reduced visibility due to fog.
Al-Ali told KUNA that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be affected by an extension of a surface low-pressure system, coinciding with an upper-level low-pressure trough. This setup will lead to the proliferation of low and mid-level clouds, bringing scattered light rain that may occasionally be thunderous.
He clarified that winds will be variable in direction, shifting to light to moderate southeasterly breezes, with occasional strengthening in some areas. He noted that the chances of light rain will continue with fluctuations in the coming days.
He added that humidity will rise and persist throughout the week, with fog forming at night, particularly in coastal and agricultural areas, leading to reduced visibility. The likelihood of scattered rain will increase next Thursday, with occasional thunderstorms and increased wind activity.
Citizens and residents were urged to follow the weather bulletin via the Department’s official website, its mobile application, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
