WASM - The impact of the warm spring wave on the Kingdom is increasing over the coming days, with temperatures continuing to rise to the mid-twenties Celsius in the capital and mountains, sometimes exceeding that. The coming nights will be "inclined towards cold" with moderate nighttime temperatures compared to previous periods.
Stability and warmth dominating the Kingdom's atmosphere throughout the coming days..
The weather will remain stable throughout the coming period and generally warm, with temperatures higher than seasonal averages by about 5-6 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels are low, winds are variable in direction, sometimes westerly and easterly at other times, though the impact of westerly winds will increase during the middle and end of the warm wave.
Cloudy periods and light, limited rain showers..
Cloud cover will occasionally increase and may coincide with light and limited rainfall showers, especially in the eastern and desert regions of the Kingdom and near the Saudi-Jordanian borders. It will also affect limited areas in various regions with light intensity.
The warm wave reaches its peak mid to late next week..
The spring warm wave will reach its peak mid to late next week, and it is not unlikely that temperatures could approach the upper twenties Celsius in the last two days of its impact, before the Kingdom is affected by "strong" atmospheric disturbances before the Eid period.
Monitoring a "strong" rainy condition after the warm spring wave impact..
With the operation of WASM's regional climate model, which has succeeded exceptionally well in detecting weather conditions, WASM's regional center is monitoring the approach of a cold air mass coinciding with high humidity after the warm wave impact and before the Eid period, which is expected to cause severely disturbed weather conditions and a strong rainy situation affecting various regions.
Spring warm waves are considered usual and not unusual for the Kingdom's atmosphere, and they increase during the months of April and May and before the start of summer. This does not mean the end of the rainy season; rather, the current rainy season is expected to extend to a late period of this season.
