Heavy Fog, Hail, and Rain Disrupt Daily Life Across the Eastern Region

Morning Fog in Dammam

The National Center for Meteorology warned of dense fog today. This massive weather system covers parts of the Eastern Region entirely. The fog drastically reduced visibility across Dammam, Dhahran, and nearby governorates. Meteorologists stated these misty conditions will persist until 8 a.m. Morning commuters must maintain a safe braking distance at all times. Foggy conditions lead to massive multi-car pileups on busy highways.

Hail and Flooded Valleys

Hafr Al-Batin Governorate faces much more severe weather conditions right now. Moderate rain and brisk winds continue to batter the local area. Hail is falling heavily, and floodwaters are rapidly flowing through the valleys. The NCM confirmed these dangerous conditions will continue until 9 a.m. Severe waterlogging might trap smaller vehicles in low-lying areas. Do not attempt to cross inundated roads under any circumstances.
