Weather maps and global forecast models

Follow rain, wind and temperature forecasts for Saudi Arabia on maps from global weather models. See how conditions are expected to develop over the coming days, and compare the models to understand differences in the timing and amount of rainfall.

These maps are model forecasts, not observations. Their reliability varies with lead time, the type of weather and how closely the models agree.

Map types

  • American GFS model The Global Forecast System, run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
  • European ECMWF model The global model from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
  • European AIFS model A forecasting system from the same European centre built on machine-learning techniques; its short-interval maps here are 6 hours apart.
  • German ICON model The global model of Germany's national meteorological service (DWD).
