Much of the Gulf, including Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait are expected to be battered by strong winds and heavy rains over the next few days, say weathermen.
The Qatar Met Office said unstable weather was expected till the end of the week due to a trough of low pressure over the area associated with a cold air mass in the upper air.
Cloudy and unstable conditions resulting in rain that may be thundery at times is expected, the Met Office said.
Saudi Arabia, which has already been reeling under heavy rains and flooding over the week, says it is mobilising personnel and resources to meet any emergency after a warning by its weather bureau of severe climatic fluctuations.
It has also been raining heavily in Kuwait and parts of the UAE.
Weathermen have warned of heavy rains and strong winds for the next two days over the eastern, central and western parts of Saudi Arabia, particularly the Eastern Province.
A disaster management centre has been set up in the Mecca governorate that will be supported by 16 support centres, authorities there said.
Contingency plans are also being put in place to close schools and evacuate people from low-lying areas, they said.
Weathermen in Bahrain said the unsettled weather is the result of a deep depression moving from the Mediterranean basin towards the Arabian Peninsula and meeting with warm and moist air mass from the Arabian Sea, which will lead to the formation of clouds over the centre of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
