Saudi Arabia’s National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued high-level Red and Orange weather alerts across multiple provinces, warning residents of dense fog, heavy thunderstorms, strong downdraft winds, and potential flash flooding.
According to the official forecast released on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Red Alerts—indicating severe weather hazards requiring maximum caution—were issued for parts of the Eastern Province (including Al Khafji and Al Udayd) due to extremely thick fog reducing horizontal visibility. Red weather warnings were also placed over governorates in Madinah and Hail due to heavy rain and active thunderstorm activity.
