The National Center for Meteorology and Early Warning has issued a forecast for Wednesday, predicting the continuation of unstable weather conditions across various Yemeni governorates. The forecast includes heavy thunderstorms accompanied by hail and downdraft winds.

Heavy Rains and Hail Predicted

According to the center’s 24-hour forecast, heavy rainfall accompanied by hail is expected to hit the highlands of several governorates, including Saada, Hajjah, Al Mahwit, Amran, Sana’a, Dhamar, Raymah, Ibb, Taiz, Al Dhale’e, Al Bayda, the Tihama plain, and the coastal areas of Hajjah, Hodeidah, and Taiz.

Additionally, scattered thunderstorms of varying intensity might occur in parts of Lahj, Abyan, Marib, Al Jawf, Shabwah, Al Mahrah, Hadramout, and the southern coasts.

Warnings Issued to Residents and Drivers

The Meteorological Center has issued warnings to citizens in the affected areas to avoid valleys and flood pathways and to seek shelter from thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail.
