Weather warnings have been issued for several regions across Saudi Arabia lasting until Friday, the Kingdom’s civil defence said on Tuesday.

The warnings were issued based on data received from the National Center of Meteorology. There is a chance of snow in the mountainous regions in Tabuk, the northern outskirts of Jawf and the Northern Borders Province.

The authority warned of thunderstorms with cold showers and brisk winds in the capital Riyadh, Makkah, Madinah, the Eastern Province, Qassim, Tabuk, Hail, the Northern Borders Province, Asir, Al-Baha, Jazan, Najran and Jawf.

It also warned some areas will experience heavy rain that may lead to torrential flooding.

The civil defence called on citizens to be wary of the severe conditions, to stay away from places that could flood, and to abide by the civil defence’s instructions and updates announced through media and social media outlets.
