Deputy Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, stated that the country experienced scattered light rainfall since Sunday morning, which is expected to continue in the coming days, with chances increasing on Thursday and occasionally accompanied by thunderstorms and 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, leading to the proliferation of low and mid-level clouds and scattered light rainfall, which may occasionally be thunderous. He clarified that winds will be variable, shifting to light to moderate southeasterly winds, with occasional strengthening in some areas, noting that the chances of light rain will continue with fluctuations over 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 chances of scattered rain will increase on Thursday, occasionally accompanied by thunderstorms and wind activity. He urged citizens and residents to follow the meteorological bulletin via the Department’s official website, its application, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
