Al Khattab warned of the danger of floods forming in valleys and low-lying areas in the north and center of the Kingdom and parts of the eastern regions, in addition to the danger of thunderstorms and hail, the intensity of wind speed especially in the south of the Kingdom, and the decline in horizontal visibility; due to dust in desert areas that do not experience rainfall.
