Weather maps on the Arabia Weather app captured a stunning scene of a massive thunderstorm cloud forming in the northeastern Arabian Sea, caused by a tropical system developing in the area. Observations indicate that this cloud is accompanied by very heavy rainfall in parts of India and Pakistan, specifically in Porbandar and surrounding regions.

Enormous Thunderstorm Cloud Covers About One-Third of Saudi Arabia’s Area

To illustrate the size of this massive thunderstorm cloud, which covers approximately 785,000 km² (seven hundred eighty-five thousand square kilometers), a visual simulation was conducted showing that the cloud nearly covers one-third of Saudi Arabia’s area. Specialists projected the cloud vertically over Saudi Arabia and noted that if the cloud were over the kingdom, it would cover about 36.5% of its 2.15 million km² area, providing a clear visual impression of the enormity of this natural phenomenon and its potential impact on surrounding areas.
