Meteorology Department: Chance of thunderstorms on Sunday

Deputy Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, stated that the country is experiencing a drop in temperatures, with weak chances of scattered, occasionally thunderous rain expected on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Al-Ali told KUNA on Wednesday 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 southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, which will intensify at times and cause sea waves to rise to more than six feet. He forecast 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 of the country. He added that chances of rain will be weak and scattered starting from Friday, with occasional thunderstorms on Sunday. Generally, the weather will be hot and relatively humid, especially along the coasts during the day, and will tend to be warm to moderate at night. He noted there is a possibility of fog forming on Saturday evening until Sunday morning, urging citizens and residents to follow the meteorological bulletin through the department’s official website, its application, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
