During the winter in Saudi Arabia, you occasionally get deep troughs with powerful jet streaks. The Red Sea acts as a significant moisture source even during the winter months. These factors might explain why Saudi Arabia gets these tornadoes.Ok I am beyond fascinated now. What is with all these huge, strong/violent looking stovepipes in Saudi Arabia?? That is clearly a very significant, supercell-spawned tornado. I don’t know if any other desert region that experiences this type of tornadic phenomenon. What is different about that country that causes this to happen?
