The center of #ArabianStorms activity today is over the United Arab Emirates #UAE, #Oman and North Eastern #KSA.

In the @Arab_Storms video below you can get a sense of what the weather is like there today.

With moisture coming in across Sudan the #AranoamStorms along the Eastern side of the Red Sea have sparked up over the last few hours. But they are unlikely to have sufficient daylight left to strengthen significantly today.

Further south cloud and rain activity over the Horn of Africa has expanded to the West today with a line of clouds coming in from the Central African Republic, over Chad into the Sudan.

This second animation picks up from midday and runs through to mid afternoon. The clouds streaming North East from the CAR into Sudan are a new feature.
