Saudi Arabia is preparing for widespread rainy weather, with forecasts indicating showers in several key regions, including Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, Al Qassim, and the southwestern parts of the country. Meteorologists have cautioned residents to brace for potential disruptions and to exercise caution while traveling during the rainfall.
The Saudi National Center for Meteorology (NCM) has issued alerts for various cities, encouraging people to stay informed about weather conditions. The rains are expected to vary in intensity, with thunderstorms likely in some areas, especially in the southwestern regions.
In Riyadh, light to moderate rain is anticipated, providing a refreshing change to the capital’s typically dry climate, while the holy cities of Mecca and Medina are also set to experience scattered showers, which may temporarily affect outdoor activities and pilgrimage routines.
Authorities have urged residents and visitors to adhere to safety guidelines, avoid low-lying areas susceptible to flooding, and stay updated on weather forecasts. This rainy period is viewed as part of the seasonal changes that often bring much-needed rainfall to the region.
