Saudi Arabia is battling severe flooding caused by torrential rains sweeping across cities and neighbourhoods, with weather alerts issued nationwide and emergency services on high alert to ensure public safety.
Saudi Arabia is facing severe flooding and torrential rains that have swept through cities and neighbourhoods across the country, with weather conditions expected to remain challenging for several days.
The National Centre for Meteorology issued weather alerts on Tuesday, including high-level red warnings for Mecca, Madinah, and parts of the eastern region, urging residents to take precautions. Meanwhile, Riyadh and the southwestern regions of Aseer and Jazan were placed under orange alerts, with officials warning of potential risks despite the lower severity level.
Emergency services, including the Red Crescent Authority, have been mobilised to respond to the situation, ensuring ambulance teams and rescue operations remain fully operational. Citizens have been advised to stay away from flood-prone areas such as valleys and low-lying regions, where water levels are rising rapidly.
Footage circulating on social media highlights the impact of the downpours, with streets turning into rivers, cars being swept away, and buildings partially submerged. Authorities continue to urge residents in affected areas to stay vigilant and follow safety instructions to minimise risks.
As heavy rains and thunderstorms persist, rescue teams remain on high alert to mitigate the effects of the extreme weather and ensure public safety.
