Arab Weather - The latest satellite images via the Arab Weather app indicate that the city of Mecca and the holy sites are currently being affected by strong thunderstorms, accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. These could cause a temporary reduction in horizontal visibility and increase the chances of valleys overflowing and flooding in some low-lying areas.
