Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Civil Defense issued on Sunday a warning about heavy rainfall across parts of the Kingdom, starting Sunday and continuing until Thursday.

Residents are urged to avoid valleys and seasonal lakes.

The Makkah Region is expected to be hit the hardest, with heavy to moderate rainfall, flash floods, hailstorms, and strong winds that may cause sandstorms in Makkah City and Taif. Neighboring governorates, including Jeddah and Al-Lith, will experience lighter rainfall.

The Riyadh Region is forecast to receive moderate rainfall, and dusty conditions are expected in Al-Sulayyil and Wadi Al-Dawasir.

Madinah, Al-Baha, Aseer, and Jazan should expect moderate to heavy rains, while Hail, Najran, and the Eastern Region can expect lighter precipitation.

The Civil Defense stresses the need to follow the safety guidelines disseminated through various media outlets and social media.
