Impending Weather Shifts: Heavy Thunderstorms to Hit Taourirt and the Eastern Region Starting This Weekend

Areas in the Eastern Region of the Kingdom, particularly the Taourirt province and surrounding areas, are bracing for a noticeable change in weather conditions starting tomorrow, Saturday. The region is expected to experience heavy thunderstorms that are set to continue, God willing, until the middle of next week.

Details of Expected Weather Disturbances in the East

According to available data, this weather shift is due to the arrival of a moist and unstable air mass in the upper atmosphere, leading to the formation of dense cumulus clouds. These weather disturbances are expected to result in significant rainfall accompanied by local thunderstorms, with the possibility of hail and strong downdraft winds.

Detailed forecasts indicate that these downpours will initially affect the Taourirt province before spreading to several other areas and centers within the Eastern Region. This rainy and stormy weather will persist intermittently throughout Sunday, Monday, and into the middle of next week.

Recommendations for Caution During Stormy Conditions

In light of this weather bulletin, citizens and residents living near high-risk areas and water channels are urged to exercise the utmost caution. Avoid attempting to cross valleys and wadis, whether on foot or by vehicle, due to the risk of sudden water level rises.

Drivers of all types of vehicles are also advised to reduce speed, switch on hazard lights, and maintain a sufficient safe distance to avoid accidents caused by skidding or sudden poor horizontal visibility during heavy thunderstorms.
