Inundação

Heavy rain is affecting an area of approximately 81 km in Saudi Arabia, with extreme flood risk. The alert began on 28 August 2026 at 09:00 UTC and is expected to continue until 17:00 UTC the same day.

If you are currently in the affected area, be aware that flooding poses a serious threat to safety and mobility. Avoid driving or walking through flooded areas, as water depth and flow speed can be deceptive and dangerous. Stay alert to changing conditions and monitor local weather updates closely.

Follow instructions from local authorities and emergency services immediately. Move to higher ground if you are in a low-lying area or near drainage channels. Keep away from roads and bridges that may be affected by water overflow. Contact your accommodation or local emergency services if you need assistance.
