The Meteorological Department predicts instability in the Arabian Gulf, with cumulus clouds potentially forming in Bahrain's neighbouring areas.

These clouds, usually accompanied by strong wind gusts, may reach the Kingdom on Thursday and Friday, (August 17 and 18.)

The situation is rare, as eastern winds and high temperatures significantly influence cloud development.

The Meteorological Department will monitor the situation and issue updates if clouds develop.

The department advises caution and follows official bulletins and warnings issued by the Department, especially for sea-goers.

The expected situation is considered one of the rare cases this time of year.
