Saudi Arabia Faces Severe Floods: Authorities Issue High Alerts

Saudi Arabia is experiencing historic torrential downpours now coupled with very serious floods affecting many cities nationwide. This weather depression is to continue for an up to date estimate of days with the biggest visible effects.

The National Center for Meteorology on Tuesday issued warning alerts for every part of the country, including high red warnings for the holy cities of Mecca and Madinah in western Saudi Arabia and parts in the eastern region. City kudos like Riyadh, together with the southwestern provinces of Aseer and Jazan, were then given orange alerts, advising people to keep in mind the rain expected.

Rescue authorities have raised preparedness for the heavy rain warnings, just like those of the Red Crescent Authority. To ensure seamless ambulance service and prompt interventions to save lives, the Red Crescent has ensured full operational readiness across its rescue teams.

Authorities warn citizens to exercise caution and adopt safety advisories, more so in areas where high-level alerts go out. The Civil Defense Service has advised against valleys, lowland areas, and places where rainwater is likely to accumulate.

The scenes showing the flooding can be viewed on social media as rising waters sweep cars away from their roads and submerge buildings, all because of the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
