The Najran region in Saudi Arabia witnessed a rare weather occurrence during the Eid Al Fitr holiday, as heavy rain and hailstones blanketed the area, creating a picturesque scene of white landscapes. The weather phenomenon affected not only Najran city but also several surrounding governorates and provinces, including Badr Al Janoub, Thar, Khbash, Bir Askar, Akefa, Al Sufah, and Haddadah.
Despite the beauty of the snow-like scenery, the General Directorate of Civil Defense has issued warnings to residents and visitors, urging them to avoid areas prone to flash floods due to expected thunderstorms across the Kingdom until next Thursday. It is important to follow instructions posted on social media platforms and take necessary precautions for personal safety.
According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the forecast indicates that Makkah, Riyadh, Asir, Al Baha, Jazan, Najran, Al Qasim, Hail, Tabuk, Madinah, and the Northern Borders regions may experience rain from Monday through Thursday, with some areas expecting heavy to moderate torrential rain and hail.
