#MiddleEastRainEvent update 15th Jan (2pm AST)
The last 24 hours of #ArabianStorms over the Arabian Peninsula, the storm area has changed trajectory and is moving south east along the Gulf coast.
Here's closeup of the overnight storm activity over Saudi and the Gulf, again 24 hours.
For a scale comparison here is a measurement of the area of storm activity close to its peak, 115k km2.
Here we have a satellite measured rainfall image of the storm impact. We can see here the majority of rainfall during this period was over Iran.
The rain impacts over the Eastern Mediterranean coast- Sinai, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan by contrast has been significantly less than forecast two days ago. So far very little of this rainfall has been realised.
Here's the rain over last 24 hours as recorded by @meteoblue Perhaps it will pick up - we are now half way through the 90 hour forecast - first image in the quoted tweet above.
@meteoblue Region wide 13th-14th Jan 24h rainfall - @meteoblue.
