Saud is in for some serious spring showers!

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has announced that moderate-to-heavy thunderstorms are expected across most parts of the Kingdom until Monday, just in time to shake up your weekend plans.

From the scenic highlands of Asir and Al Baha to the bustling streets of Riyadh and the coastline of the Eastern Province, skies will be turning gray with a chance of everything— rain, hail, gusty winds up to 50km/h, and even possible tornadoes in some regions.

Coastal cities could also see high waves, so beachgoers, stay alert!

Riyadh locals can expect light-to-moderate rain that’ll come and go between Saturday and Monday—perfect for cozy coffee runs, indoor plans, or a chance to enjoy that rare rainy city aesthetic.

Meanwhile, areas like Makkah, Madinah, Ha’il, Najran, and Jazan may see heavier activity, including localized flooding and low visibility, so keep an eye on official updates and drive safe if you’re hitting the roads.

With April marking the peak of spring rainfall in Saudi, this weather is par for the course, but it still brings a refreshing (and dramatic!) change of pace!

Whether you’re a fan of stormy skies or just hoping for that perfect rain-soaked photo op, this weekend’s forecast is anything but boring.

Stay dry, stay safe, and enjoy the vibe!
