Saudi Arabia has issued warnings ahead of a severe weather event, with officials preparing for heavy thunderstorms and flash floods. The National Center for Meteorology has alerted residents in several regions, including the eastern and central parts of the country, to take precautions. The weather system is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and sudden flooding, posing risks to infrastructure and transportation.
Emergency services have been put on high alert, with teams ready to respond to any incidents. Local authorities are advising citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and to secure their homes. The weather is expected to last through the weekend, with some areas facing prolonged downpours.
The National Center for Meteorology has also urged drivers to exercise caution, as roads could become hazardous due to the sudden nature of the storms. With the region experiencing a dry season, the sudden influx of rain could lead to unexpected flooding in low-lying areas.
