Sana'a:The National Center for Meteorology and Early Warning has reported that the moist air mass from the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden is continuing to affect Yemen's weather. This is particularly impacting the western mountainous highlands and inland plateaus of the country.

According to Yemen News Agency, the center's weather bulletin predicts rainfall of varying intensities, accompanied by active winds and occasional thunderstorms, in several governorates. These include Taiz, Al-Dhalea, Ibb, Raymah, Dhamar, Sana'a, Amran, Al-Mahwit, Hajjah, and Sa'ada, as well as parts of the Tihama Plain.

Scattered rainfall is also expected in parts of the governorates of Lahj, Abyan, Al-Bayda, Shabwa, and Hadramout, along with parts of the southern and western coasts. The meteorology center has issued warnings to citizens about the dangers of staying in or crossing ravines and valleys during and after rainfall. They also cautioned about reduced horizontal visibility due to fog and low clouds, as well as potential rock and mudslides on roads and mountainous slopes.

The center urged relevant authorities to implement necessary measures to safeguard lives and property.
