Here are tips to show you how to drive during floods:

Before torrents form:

• Avoid driving in these climates is the best advice
• You should not risk driving during heavy rain unless necessary.
• The vehicle must be verified and inspected in terms of its mechanics, tires, electrical circuits, windshield wipers and brakes before using it. This is in order not to surprise you with crashes during the rain and torrents form.
• Avoid going from dangerous roads in which floods are expected to form: Drivers should avoid passing or going from roads that are expected to be at risk of flooding, and they should also avoid bridges and lowlands that are prone to being washed away by torrents.

During torrents:

• Drivers should monitor the speed of their vehicles while driving in rain and torrents. Because of the reduced ability of the brakes to stop the car in torrents and the high level of water on the roads.
• Avoid driving on "sides" of the road. For fear of drifting downward water on both sides of the roads from high places, it is recommended to drive in the middle of the road, where there are less pools of water and mud.
• The flow of water contains a large amount of strength and energy; So avoid flooded roads

Tonight's weather forecast:

The weather is relatively cold and often cloudy with thunderstorms, God willing, in several parts of the Kingdom, and these rains are abundant to very heavy, especially in the eastern regions of the Kingdom, including the eastern desert and the international desert road leading to Iraq and Saudi Arabia as well as it is associated with Showers of hail, too. It is expected that these rains will cause a large runoff of valleys and reefs and may form torrents that may be ravaging sometimes in several regions.

And at a later time, clouds and low clouds touching the surface of the earth are expected to cross, forming fog over mountain heights, especially high.
