SANA'A August 27. 2024 (Saba) – The National Center for Meteorology and Early Warning issued on Tuesday a forecast predicting thunderstorms and rain of varying intensity across several governorates in the next 24 hours.
According to the center's weather bulletin, thunderstorms with descending winds and possible hail are expected in the highlands of Shabwa, Dhale', Taiz, Ibb, Dhamar, Raymah, Sana'a, Amran, Mahweet, Hajjah, and Sa'ada.
Rainfall may also extend westward, impacting Tihama Plain and the western coasts of Hajjah, Hodeida, and Taiz.
Additionally, varying intensity rain and thunderstorms are likely in parts of Mahrah, Hadhramaut, Abyan, Lahj, Bayda, Marib, and Jawf.

The center advises residents to exercise extreme caution, avoid valleys and torrents during thunderstorms, and be wary of reduced visibility due to rain and low clouds. It also warns of potential rockfalls on mountain roads and collapses of mud and local buildings due to ongoing rainfall.
Authorities are urged to implement protective measures for public safety and stay updated with the latest weather bulletins and reports.
