As Ramadan enters its final 10 nights, known as Qiyam Al-Layl, the National Center for Meteorology (NCM) has predicted that inclement weather will persist across Saudi Arabia until Sunday. Moderate to heavy rain, gusty winds, and hailstorms are expected in several regions, including Makkah, Al-Baha, Aseer, Jazan, Najran, as well as parts of Qassim, Riyadh, and the Eastern regions. Several regions in Saudi Arabia, including the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, experienced moderate to heavy rainfall on Thursday with Jeddah’s Al-Jami’ah district recorded the highest rainfall, with 24.8mm of rain. The rain in Makkah, in particular, offered a welcome respite to Umrah pilgrims, providing a break from the typically hot weather. Faiz Al-Najdi, a resident of Yanbu, described the weather in Makkah as “pleasant” and shared, “I performed Umrah with my family with ease and even prayed in the open courtyard of the grand mosque. It was truly a blessing to be able to fulfill my religious duties while enjoying such good weather.” Meanwhile, the General Directorate of Civil Defense has issued safety warnings, urging people to stay in safe areas, avoid flood-prone zones, and refrain from swimming in low-lying valleys. Residents have been reminded to follow local authority instructions communicated via media and social platforms. In Riyadh, text messages have alerted residents to forecasted rain from Wednesday to Saturday (March 19-22, 2025), with predictions of flash floods, high waves along the coasts, and hailstorms in the highlands. The Red Sea is expected to see northwesterly to northerly winds at speeds of 25-50 km per hour in the northern and central regions, with waves ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters. In the Arabian Gulf, winds will be southeasterly, with speeds of 12-40 km per hour, and waves from half a meter to more than 2 meters, creating choppy sea conditions.
