"December 9th, 2025. The vibrant coastal city of Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia's Makkah Province, was suddenly plunged into chaos. An unprecedented downpour—an extreme weather event—unleashed a torrent of water that overwhelmed the region. In a matter of hours, a coastal metropolis transformed into a devastating inland sea. Streets became raging rivers, cars—once symbols of mobility—were swept away and submerged, often with only their roofs visible above the brown floodwaters. This was a classic flash flood, moving with brutal, destructive force. The sheer volume of rain, with some reports indicating over 135 millimeters recorded in just five hours in parts of the governorate, tested the city’s infrastructure to its limits. Authorities, including Civil Defence, issued immediate red alerts, urging residents to stay home and away from low-lying areas. From the bustling Red Sea coastline to the heart of the Makkah region, this event serves as a stark and urgent reminder of the increasing frequency of extreme and unpredictable weather in the face of a changing global climate."
