Riyadh: The National Center for Meteorology has issued a weather forecast predicting that several regions, including Eastern, Northern Borders, Qassim, Hail, Tabuk, Madinah, Riyadh, Makkah, Al-Baha, Aseer, and Jazan, may experience moderate to heavy rain on Sunday. These conditions are expected to lead to flash floods and be accompanied by hail.

According to Saudi Press Agency, gusty winds are likely to stir up dust, resulting in near-zero horizontal visibility in parts of the aforementioned regions, as well as in Al-Jouf and Najran. This could cause significant disruptions and pose challenges for residents and travelers in these areas.

In the southern part, winds will shift to southeasterly to southerly at speeds of 21 to 42 km/h. Wave heights in the Red Sea are predicted to range from half a meter to two meters, with relatively calm sea conditions.
