Rain Promises Brighten Tomorrow... Thunderstorms on Sunday

Director of the Meteorology Department, Essam Al-Ali, stated that the country is experiencing a drop in temperatures, with weak chances of scattered showers tomorrow, Friday, and thunderstorms possible on the upcoming Sunday. Al-Ali told KUNA that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be affected by an extension of the Indian monsoon low, accompanied by a hot and humid air mass, with variable winds shifting to light to moderate southeasterly winds that will intensify at times, causing sea waves to rise to more than six feet. He predicted a relative decrease in maximum temperatures, ranging between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will range between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius across most parts of the country. He added that chances of rain will be weak and scattered starting tomorrow, Friday, with occasional thunderstorms on the upcoming Sunday. Generally, the weather will be hot and relatively humid, especially along the coasts during the day, and warm to mild at night. He noted there is a possibility of fog forming on Saturday evening until Sunday morning, urging citizens and residents to follow the weather bulletin through the Department’s official website, its app, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
