Weather Alert: Showers In Makkah Region Bring Risk Of Flash Floods And Hailstorms

Hera Shabbir

Rainfall is expected to sweep across the Kingdom until Saturday, with regions like Makkah, Madinah, Tabuk, Hail, and the Eastern Province in the spotlight. And this isn’t your ordinary drizzle—think flash floods, hailstorms, and gusty winds stirring up the dust. Riyadh isn’t sitting this one out either, with light rain and dusty conditions expected to mix things up in the capital.

Authorities are urging everyone to stay safe, avoid valleys and flood-prone areas, and keep an eye on updates from official sources

Whether you’re navigating Makkah’s stormy skies or enjoying the frosty air in the north, this winter is shaping up to be one for the books. If you thought winter in Saudi Arabia was all mild breezes and cozy nights, think again! This year, the Kingdom is cranking up the chill factor with a winter season that’s already making headlines.

From icy temperatures in the northern regions to rain, thunderstorms, and even hailstorms in the south, it’s time to layer up and stay prepared

The weather has taken a dramatic turn, with areas like Qurayyat recording a bone-chilling -1°C and Turaif hitting 0°C. Other regions aren’t far behind, with Tabuk at 5°C and Hail shivering at just 3°C. While it’s perfect weather to sip on some warm gahwa, it also comes with its share of challenges.

Winter is HERE!
