The Saudi Department of Civil Defence asked residents to follow authorities' instructions due to the harsh weather conditions seen in different regions. They also called on residents to stay away from flood channels and water collection points.
An earlier weather forecast by the country's National Centre of Meteorology predicted hail and thunderstorms along with heavy wind in several regions: Najran, Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha and Makkah extending to Madinah.
Last month, floods in Makkah region caused camels and cattle to be swept away. Pilgrims continued to perform Umrah despite the torrential rains.
