National Center for Meteorology warns of weather fluctuations and thunderstorms in several regions of the Kingdom
The National Center for Meteorology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has issued an important warning to citizens and residents regarding the expected weather conditions over the coming days. Forecasts indicate moderate to heavy thunderstorms across wide areas of the Kingdom.
This weather pattern is particularly concentrated in the Jazan, Asir, and Makkah regions. The Center explained that these rains may lead to flash floods in valleys and mountain passes, requiring everyone to exercise extreme caution when traveling in these areas.
In addition to the rain, the Center warned of hail that may be intense in some locations, as well as active surface winds that will stir up dust and sand. These winds may lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility on highways and in open areas.
Competent authorities in the Kingdom urge all residents to follow the official alerts issued by the National Center for Meteorology via social media platforms and its website. Authorities also emphasize the necessity of staying away from valley bottoms and flood paths to ensure everyone's safety.
These warnings come as part of the concerned authorities' commitment to community safety and mitigating the risks resulting from sudden weather fluctuations. Drivers are advised to exercise caution while driving in rainy weather and to adhere to specified speed limits.
