Saudi Arabia is predicted to experience its peak rainfall in April, marking it as the rainiest month of the year, according to meteorological forecasts. Aqeel Al Aqeel, an analyst at the Saudi National Centre for Meteorology (NCM), emphasized, “The peak of rainfall in the kingdom occurs in spring, with the highest levels recorded in April.”
Areas such as Asir and Al Baha in the southwest, alongside Mecca and Taif in the west, are expected to be significantly affected by the rainfall this month. These regions will likely receive greater precipitation compared to other parts of the country, as indicated by climate data and forecasts.
Satellite imagery has revealed a developing thunderstorm belt that is expected to lead to heavy rain in the mountainous areas of Mecca, Al Baha, Asir, and Taif in the forthcoming days. Amidst this, the NCM’s weather report for Tuesday warned of possible thunderstorms, hail showers, and strong winds that could raise dust in regions including Medina, Ha’il, Tabuk, Al Jawf, and the Northern Borders.
In conclusion, April is anticipated to be the wettest month in Saudi Arabia, as confirmed by the NCM. Significant rainfall is expected particularly in the southwestern and western regions of the kingdom. Residents should prepare for possible thunderstorms and strong winds across several areas.
