A belt of severe thunderstorms is moving toward several Arab countries
Published
Satellite images monitored by Arab Weather Center show a wide belt of severe thunderstorms, known scientifically as a "squall line." This belt is moving over several Arab countries, accompanied by strong weather and active atmospheric phenomena.
A squall line is a series of cumulonimbus clouds that form in a long, continuous line, often advancing ahead of a cold front. These systems are characterized by rapid weather changes in the areas they pass through, so people need to be cautious when traveling and planning their daily activities.
Arab Weather Center explains that these phenomena may include strong and sudden winds, heavy rain in some areas, as well as lightning and thunder. Weather experts are continuously tracking the development of this belt to determine which areas will be more significantly affected by the weather in the coming hours.
Residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are advised to follow weather bulletins and official alerts issued by the relevant authorities, avoid low-lying areas and valleys during rainfall, and comply with instructions to maintain public safety.
