National Center of Meteorology forecasts
Reports from the National Center for Meteorology indicate that the chance of thunderstorms remains high in parts of the Northern Borders region, including the city of Arar and its surrounding areas. The center also predicted that these storms will be accompanied by strong winds that may stir up dust and sand in open areas before the rain begins, urging caution on highways.
Civil Defense Safety Guidelines
In light of this weather condition, the General Directorate of Civil Defense reiterated its usual warnings for such circumstances, urging everyone to exercise caution. Authorities emphasized the importance of staying away from valleys and flood channels, avoiding crossing valleys while they are flowing, and staying away from open areas and places near tall trees during thunderstorms, all in order to protect lives and property.
Environmental importance of rainfall in the northern border region
Rainfall in the Northern Borders region is of particular importance, as this area is one of the most prominent natural pastures in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Rain at this time of year heralds a flourishing spring season, as the water helps the wild herbs and aromatic plants for which the region is known, such as wormwood and yarrow, to sprout. It also heralds the appearance of truffles, which attract visitors and seekers from various regions, positively impacting the seasonal economic and tourism activity in Arar and its surrounding areas.
May God make it rain blessings and goodness, and may its benefits spread throughout the land, and may He provide for the people and the land from the blessings of heaven.
