Khaberni - Latest satellite images and robust computer simulation models indicate the commencement of the intensification of the rainy condition on vast parts of the kingdom in the coming hours, specifically starting from the late-night hours (from midnight till Thursday morning), where heavy rains are expected to cover most regions including the southern, central, northern, and eastern provinces, as well as the Badia regions, the Jordan Valley, and the Dead Sea area.
Weather reports state that these rains will be accompanied, God willing, by thunderstorms that will gradually intensify over time. It is also possible that these may include hail showers in some areas, alongside a notable surge in sudden winds that may lead to dust storms in exposed areas before the rainfalls.
Important recommendations for dealing with the weather conditions:
Given the nature of this weather condition and its potential field consequences, a series of recommendations and guidelines have been issued to ensure citizens' safety, notably:
Drive with extreme caution: It's essential to maintain a safe distance between vehicles and to reduce speed to a minimum during rain and fog, which may obstruct horizontal visibility.
Flood risk: Be highly alert to the danger of flood formation and strong river flows, especially in lower areas such as the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea region, and previously known flood forming locations.
Do not take risks: It is absolutely advised against attempting to cross floods, whether on foot or in vehicles; as the water speed is torrential and carries solid debris and large stones posing a real threat to life.
Rockslides: Be vigilant for risks of soil and rock landslides, especially in the southern highlands and areas of slopes and narrow valleys.
Relevant authorities urge citizens to keep updated with periodic weather updates, stay away from flood channels during the impact of the low pressure system, and adhere to civil defense instructions to maintain public safety.
