Traffic authorities seize 7,931 illegal motorcycles across Saudi Arabia in one week

Heavy thunderstorms are set to disrupt parts of Saudi Arabia until the end of the week, as predicted by the National Center for Meteorology. The storms will bring varying levels of rainfall across different regions, starting with light to moderate rain in southern Asir and areas near Abha on Sunday evening. This rain will gradually move westward across Asir and the western borders of the Riyadh Region, before dissipating entirely by Saturday afternoon.

The precipitation will then shift towards the southeast, affecting eastern Jazan and western Asir on Thursday afternoon, before becoming more widespread across the entire eastern Jazan and western Asir region. By Friday morning, the rain will have largely cleared the Kingdom, with only light showers remaining along the border between the Eastern Province and Najran.

By late Friday afternoon, the rain will intensify along the west, affecting the border between Asir and Jazan and the majority of Al-Baha. As it moves northwards towards Makkah, the rain will weaken significantly, impacting Taif and the Holy Capital. By late Friday evening, the rain will have largely disappeared from Jazan and Asir, with light scattered showers persisting across Al-Baha, Makkah, and southern Madinah.

These showers will continue to affect most areas of Makkah until early Saturday morning, with light to moderate rain impacting the entire border between Asir and Jazan and the western parts of Al-Baha by Saturday afternoon. The rain will intensify in Jazan and Asir by late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, before completely clearing the Kingdom by the following morning.
