The state of air instability continues, which is being witnessed by a number of Arab countries, which is accompanied by heavy rainfall of various kinds.
In Jordan, floods caused by heavy rains caused the closure of major roads and landslides in various parts of the kingdom.
The Shobak monitoring station/ Ma'an governorate of the Jordanian Meteorological Department recorded the highest amount of precipitation until six o'clock on Tuesday morning, reaching 66 mm, since the impact of the depression on the kingdom began.
In the United Arab Emirates, the National Center for Meteorology and earthquakes said that the state of atmospheric instability is expected to continue on Tuesday, provided that the weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy with the appearance of some cumulus clouds over different regions of the country accompanied by various heavy rains, and light to moderate and sometimes active winds.
In a post on its Facebook page, the center called for "remaining alert and anticipating dangerous weather events".
In Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday, thundery rains are expected on the northern borders, Al-Jawf, hail and Qassim extending to Riyadh and the East, and light snowfall is not excluded on the heights of Tabuk (alaqan, Dhahr and Jabal al-Luz) as well as on the northern edges of the Kingdom, and thundery rains on Najran, Jazan, Asir and Al-Baha, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
In Egypt, the weather is affected by an extension of an atmospheric depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere, with the northern air masses coming from the Mediterranean Sea, and low and medium clouds will continue to multiply over most of the northern regions.
Thunderstorms are expected to fall, which may sometimes be moderate, only on the northeastern coasts, north Sinai, Rafah, Al-Arish and Damietta, as a result of the geographical nature of these areas, according to Manar Ghanem, a member of the media center of the meteorological authority.
Kuwaiti meteorological reports also indicate instability in the weather condition due to a high atmospheric extension, which affects temperatures, with the spread of clouds that are an opportunity to form fog.
In Bahrain, the Meteorological Department of the Ministry of transport and Communications reported that the weather expected today will be relatively cold and humid at first, then turn partly cloudy later in the day with a chance of sporadic rains tonight.
