The weather forecast shows that there might be conditions that can lead to thunderstorms. These storms can have moderate to rain. There could also be winds and less clear visibility in some parts of the southwest and western areas. Places that are higher, up might get hail. In areas that’re lower there is a chance of sudden flooding when the rain is very heavy.
Despite the storm activity, much of the Kingdom will continue to endure extreme summer heat.

Authorities have advised residents to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, particularly during the afternoon when temperatures are expected to be at their highest.
Strong winds associated with the weather system may also generate dust and sandstorms in exposed areas, reducing horizontal visibility and affecting road travel. Motorists have been urged to drive cautiously, especially on highways where blowing dust could create hazardous conditions.
Civil defence authorities have called on the public to monitor official weather updates and follow safety instructions as conditions develop. Residents in areas prone to heavy rainfall have been advised to avoid valleys, flood-prone locations and fast-flowing wadis, while outdoor activities should be postponed if thunderstorms approach.
Saudi Arabia experiences contrasting weather patterns during the summer months, with intense heat affecting much of the Kingdom while moisture-laden air can trigger thunderstorms over mountainous and southwestern regions. These seasonal conditions often lead to localised rainfall that varies in intensity from one area to another.
Officials said emergency response teams remain prepared to respond to any weather-related incidents, while meteorological agencies will continue monitoring the system and issuing updates as necessary. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and take appropriate precautions to minimise weather-related risks.
