NCM reports rainfall across three Saudi regions

· Makkah
StatusReported by Saudi Gazette, citing the National Center for Meteorology.

The National Center for Meteorology (NCM) recorded rainfall across parts of Jazan, Makkah and Al-Baha regions during the 24-hour period from 9 a.m. Wednesday to 9 a.m. Thursday. Abu Arish in Jazan recorded the highest amount in Saudi Arabia, at 14.2 mm. Mina in Makkah Region followed with 4.6 mm.

In Jazan, Al-Darb recorded 2 mm and Farasan 1.6 mm. King Abdullah Airport received 1 mm, while Al-Rawdah recorded 0.4 mm.

In Makkah Region, Al-Kurr Road in Taif recorded 2.6 mm. Al-Shisha and Muzdalifah each received 2.3 mm, while the Central Haram Area recorded 2.1 mm.

Al-Aziziyah and Al-Shara'i each recorded 1.7 mm, and Al-Hada in Taif received 1 mm. Wadi Uranah recorded 0.7 mm, Umm Al-Qura University 0.6 mm, Al-Aridah 0.5 mm and Arafat 0.4 mm.

Al-Shafa in Taif and Al-Layth each recorded 0.2 mm, while Al-Kaakiyah recorded 0.1 mm. In Al-Baha Region, Baljurashi also recorded 0.2 mm.

Why this mattersFor projects in Madinah, this report offers a nearby regional reference for rainfall conditions, but it does not provide measurements for Madinah itself. As an inference, the recorded variation across locations may be useful context when reviewing site drainage and stormwater assumptions; it is not a substitute for project-specific data.
