Weather forecasts point to moderate to heavy rainfall over parts of the southwest and western regions of the Kingdom, with Taif and several areas in Makkah Province among the locations expected to be affected.
The rain is anticipated to reach varying intensities across the impacted areas, ranging from moderate showers to heavier downpours in some spots. Residents in these regions are advised to stay alert to changing conditions during this period.
Rainy weather in mountainous and elevated areas such as Taif can be accompanied by reduced visibility, water accumulation on roads, and the possibility of runoff in low-lying areas and valleys.
For the community, this serves as a reminder to take extra care while driving, to avoid crossing flooded areas or valleys during heavy rain, and to follow guidance from local authorities. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, maintain safe distances, and keep vehicle lights on when visibility drops.
Saudi Living recommends that residents and visitors in the affected areas plan their outdoor activities accordingly and prioritize safety until conditions improve.
