Several regions across the Kingdom are expected to see unsettled weather on October 28, 2026, with moderate to heavy thunderstorms forecast in parts of the country. Residents are advised to stay cautious as conditions vary from one area to another.
The affected areas include Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, Makkah, Madinah, Hail, Tabuk, Al-Jouf, the Northern Borders, Qassim, and parts of the Eastern Region. Not all areas will experience continuous rainfall, and conditions are expected to differ sharply by location.
Potential hazards tied to the thunderstorms include flash-flood runoff in valleys and low-lying areas, hail, strong surface winds, blowing dust that can reduce visibility, and the possibility of fog in some locations.
What it means for residents
Drivers should take extra care on roads, particularly near valleys and areas prone to water accumulation, and avoid crossing flooded routes. Reduced visibility from dust or fog may also affect travel, so allowing extra time and keeping a safe distance is recommended.
Because the weather will not be uniform across the Kingdom, residents in the listed regions are encouraged to monitor local updates and plan outdoor activities accordingly.
