WASM – Heavy rainfall will gradually decrease in Syria and Lebanon on Saturday, while the early autumn chill continues, especially during the night and early morning hours. Temperatures will rise by mid and late next week, returning to typical autumn levels, though weather instability will persist (the detailed forecast for each country and region is included in this report).
Summer heat breaks across many areas of Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Peninsula, Kuwait, the Arabian Gulf, and Iraq toward the end of the week, accompanied by weather fluctuations over northwestern Saudi Arabia, Al‑Jouf, Tabuk, and the highlands.
Weather instability will intensify over northwestern Saudi Arabia and the Levant in the coming days, gradually expanding due to the extension and activity of the Red Sea Trough, which triggers atmospheric disturbances and temperature variations.
The detailed seasonal weather bulletin for the Arab region for 2026–2027 has been issued.
Weather Forecast Details for Each Region
Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Gulf, and the Arabian Peninsula
Temperatures break across the region and tend toward cooler conditions late at night in northern areas. Humidity remains high and uncomfortable along the coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, with cloud cover and dust‑raising winds affecting exposed areas of Riyadh and the Eastern Province.
Thunderstorm showers will affect parts of Al‑Jouf and Tabuk as part of the first wave of weather instability in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Showers will also continue over the highlands of Asir, Jazan, Al‑Baha, and Taif, extending into parts of Makkah and even the Holy Capital, with thunderclouds reaching the highlands of Madinah.
Temperatures will drop below 40°C by the end of the week across many areas of the Gulf and Saudi Arabia for the first time since summer ended — a sign of early autumn influence. Riyadh will record around 38°C, Kuwait around 36°C, and Baghdad around 34°C (check your city’s temperature via our app).
Weather instability will increase progressively this month, especially over northern and northwestern Saudi Arabia, signaling an early start to the autumn “Wasmi” weather season, which is expected to intensify further by mid‑next month and become more widespread and stronger.
