WASM — Heavy rain events are approaching the region, focusing on northwestern Saudi Arabia and the Levant. Intense rain events will begin next week across the Levant, northwestern Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.
Rainfall will intensify and become heavy—God willing—over northwestern Saudi Arabia, the Levant, and Iraq as the Red Sea Trough deepens throughout next week. These rain events will expand to become more widespread after mid‑month, affecting north‑central and northeastern Saudi Arabia.
The detailed seasonal weather bulletin for the Arab region for 2026–2027 has been issued.
Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Gulf, and the Arabian Peninsula
Temperatures continue to decline across the region, tending toward coolness late at night in northern areas. Humidity remains generally high along the coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, with cloud cover and dust‑raising winds in exposed areas of Riyadh and the Eastern Province.
Weather becomes unstable in northwestern Saudi Arabia—especially Al‑Jawf, Tabuk, Qurayyat, northern Hail, and parts of the Northern Borders region—and intensifies toward the end of the week, leading to thunderstorms and occasional strong winds. Thunderclouds also persist over parts of the Asir highlands, Makkah, Taif, Al‑Baha, and western Madinah.
