Civil Defense Issues Vital Safety Reminder As Torrential Rains Sweep Across Saudi Arabia

Hera Shabbir

With the recent winter season setting in, parts of Saudi Arabia are experiencing a major shift in weather – and some serious rainfall! Cities like Ha’il, Tabuk, Jizan, and more have been hit with heavy showers, leading to powerful water currents along roads and valleys.

People in Tabuk have been posting videos struggling to commute through the waters

Ha’il also experienced a full storm with strong currents

These intense torrents have made travel tricky, and the Saudi Civil Defense has stepped in with a clear reminder: stay safe by staying indoors!


If you’re thinking of braving the flooded areas, think again – it’s not just risky but can also be costly. Residents caught venturing into these danger zones could face fines of up to 10,000 SAR. So, grab a warm drink, settle in, and let the rainstorm pass from the comfort of home!
