Saudi Arabia and Yemen face heavy rain and flash flood warnings
The National Center of Meteorology has issued weather warnings for Saudi Arabia and Yemen, forecasting heavy thunderstorms and potential flash floods across several regions.
In Saudi Arabia, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in Jazan, Asir, and Al Bahah, which may lead to flash floods and hail. Other areas, including Makkah, Madinah, and Najran, may experience lighter to moderate rain. Additionally, dust-inducing winds are predicted for Tabuk, Hail, Al Jouf, and the Northern Borders, while fog is expected along the coasts of the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf.
In Yemen, heavy thunderstorms with potential hail are forecasted for mountainous provinces such as Hadramaut, Shabwah, Al Bayda, Abyan, Lahj, Al Dhale, Taiz, Ibb, Raymah, Al Mahwit, and Hajjah. Coastal areas and desert regions are also expected to see scattered rain and thunderstorms. Authorities have warned citizens to avoid valleys and streams due to sudden flood risks and to stay away from high places and metal structures during thunderstorms.
