Heavy rain and thunderstorms struck the holy city of Mecca on September 14, 2026, creating dramatic scenes as worshippers gathered at the Grand Mosque near the Kaaba.
In response to the severe weather, Saudi authorities issued official flood warnings, advising both residents and visitors to steer clear of valleys and low-lying zones that are susceptible to water accumulation.
Is this part of a larger climate shift? The intensity seems higher than historical records show.
Such sudden storms in Mecca are quite rare and startling. Hope authorities respond quickly to clear积水.
Prayers for everyone’s safety during this unexpected weather. Stay away from low-lying areas!
