Heavy rain and flash flood warnings issued for several Saudi regions

The National Center for Meteorology has issued heavy rain and flash flood warnings for several regions in Saudi Arabia. Forecasters predict thunderstorms and possible flash floods, along with hail, in Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, and Makkah. Light to moderate rain is expected over Madinah, with strong winds increasing dust and sand in the air.

Fog formation is also anticipated along the coastlines of Makkah and the Eastern Province. Surface winds over the Red Sea will reach speeds of 20–43 km/h, while in the Arabian Gulf, they will vary between 10–25 km/h. Wave heights may swell to two meters or more during thunderstorms, with sea conditions becoming rough in those periods.
