Rain in Al Muwaileh: What You Need to Know
Al Muwaileh is a small coastal settlement in Tabuk Province on Saudi Arabia's Gulf of Aqaba, close to the Saudi-Jordan border. It sits on the coastal plain below Hejaz mountain foothills, part of the northwestern Red Sea development corridor that includes NEOM and the Sindalah resort project. Annual rainfall is ~15-30 mm — among the lowest of any inhabited settlement in the kingdom — concentrated in January-February Mediterranean frontal systems.
Despite minimal rainfall totals, the narrow wadi systems descending from the Hejaz escarpment to the coast can generate dangerous flash flows from even 10-15 mm upstream events. The northern Red Sea coast is experiencing significant infrastructure investment as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 tourism agenda; construction activity and coastal tourism development in Al Muwaileh's vicinity make weather awareness increasingly relevant.
RainViewer pulls radar data from regional meteorological networks, updated every 5 minutes.

Why You Need a Rain Radar in Al Muwaileh
Coastal Construction & Infrastructure
Red Sea tourism development near Al Muwaileh involves outdoor construction vulnerable to rare winter wadi flooding. Checking radar before earthwork operations near wadi crossings prevents equipment exposure to flash flows.
Cross-Border Transport (Jordan)
Commercial vehicles crossing between Saudi Arabia and Jordan use the Haql border (~50 km north). Wadi flooding on coastal approach roads during January-February storms can close access. Radar advance warning allows transport coordinators to hold vehicles at staging areas.
Red Sea Diving & Coastal Tourism
Al Muwaileh's coral reef coastline is part of Saudi Arabia's emerging Red Sea dive tourism circuit. Rare winter storms raise Red Sea swell. Checking radar before boat departures ensures safe offshore conditions.
RainViewer Radar Coverage in Al Muwaileh
RainViewer aggregates radar data for Saudi Arabia from regional meteorological networks, updated every 5 minutes. Coverage focuses on the populated Hejaz corridor (Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah), the Najd plateau (Riyadh and central oasis cities), and the Eastern Province Gulf coast (Dammam, Al Khobar, Al Jubail). Coverage in remote interior desert and southern highlands varies.
Al Muwaileh Rain Radar: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it raining in Al Muwaileh right now?
With only 15-30 mm annual rainfall, any active cell on the radar is significant. Mediterranean frontal systems approach from the northwest. If a cell is 30-40 km northwest of Al Muwaileh, expect arrival within 20-25 minutes.
- Is Al Muwaileh safe for diving in winter?
Mostly yes. January-February has the highest rain probability but still dominantly dry days. Red Sea swell from frontal systems is the bigger diving hazard — check both radar and marine forecast before departing.
- What is the best visit window?
December-March for mild temperatures and mostly dry conditions. April-October for guaranteed dry weather but increasing heat.
Track Rain in Al Muwaileh in Real Time
Hejaz wadi systems above Al Muwaileh can generate flash floods from small mountain storms — coastal construction and diving operations need advance radar.
Standard weather apps update once or twice a day. By then, the flash flood is either done or parked over your location — you've lost the decision window.
