There are hints that early May will also show a similar pattern; however, that will be extremely abnormal given that May is a very dry month and summer is on the way

An unusual weather pattern is setting over the Arabian Peninsula. Hot weather has already taken over; however, tropical moisture is flowing abundantly via the equator, coupled with a week upper low. All of this is already resulting in some thunderstorms over Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Again on Monday, these thunderstorms will gain power and continue forming randomly making threats to Yemen, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. Starting Tuesday, the UAE and Oman will be exposed to the potential development of such thunderstorms until Friday.
