Authorities are urging everyone to stay safe and follow emergency guidelines as the situation develops.

The recent heavy rainfall in Aseer is part of a broader weather system affecting several regions in Saudi Arabia, including Jazan, Makkah, Madinah, Najran, and Al-Baha. The most intense downpour was recorded in Jazan, where one governorate saw up to 35 mm of rain, marking the highest accumulation.

Experts suggest that the combination of intense rainfall over a short period and the region’s topography contributes to the severity of the flooding

The steep terrain in Aseer can cause rapid runoff, overwhelming drainage systems and leading to flash floods. Residents are advised to stay informed through official channels and avoid areas prone to flooding. Emergency services are on high alert, and rescue operations are underway to assist those affected by the floods.
