WASM — Heavy rainfall continues over the northwestern Levant, and a regional rainstorm is expected to begin at the end of the week from the Levant and northwestern Saudi Arabia before expanding later.
Heavy rain persists over northwestern Syria and Lebanon with flood risks, as the region enters the early stages of a widespread and intense regional rainstorm that will gradually begin late next week and strengthen afterward.
A strong equatorial wave over the Arabian Sea will deepen toward the Arabian Peninsula during the last third of the month, coinciding with ongoing Mediterranean lows, resulting in a widespread and intense regional rain event.
The detailed seasonal weather bulletin for the Arab region for 2026–2027 has been issued.
