Saudi Arabia's weather service has forecast thunderstorms, heavy rainfall and flash floods across several regions of the kingdom, according to reports carried by عكاظ and other Saudi outlets.
عكاظ reported that the warnings cover four regions, while سبق الإلكترونية put the figure at 15 Saudi regions expected to see heavy thunderstorms and flooding on the same day. جريدة الرياض reported that the alerts specifically name Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha and Mecca.
Separately, عكاظ said a warning was in effect for Mecca and three governorates, covering rain, winds and lightning strikes, and remaining in place until nine o'clock. Al-Madina reported light rain over the Holy Capital and Al-Jumum in the Mecca region.
The reports describe a broad band of unsettled weather rather than a single localized event, with the affected areas spanning the kingdom's southwestern highlands and the Mecca region. The warnings mention lightning and strong winds alongside the rainfall, and the possibility of torrents in some areas.
The weather service has not, in the material available, given a detailed breakdown of expected rainfall amounts or a full list of the governorates covered by each alert.
Authorities have not announced any casualties or damage from the forecast conditions.
Residents in the named regions should follow updates from the weather service and local authorities, particularly where flood warnings remain active, and watch for any extension or lifting of the alerts as conditions develop.
