    Heavy rain in Mecca - September 13

     On September 13, 2026, Al Jazeera English shared footage of intense rain and thunderstorms soaking the Kaaba and the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Worshippers in ihram continued praying and performing tawaf despite the downpour. Saudi authorities issued flood warnings, advising residents and visitors to stay away from valleys and low-lying areas, as thunderstorms were forecast to affect Makkah and surrounding regions through mid-September. The rare rainfall in Mecca's typically arid climate produced striking scenes — water cascading over the Kaaba's black cloth and flooding the marble courtyards beneath dark, stormy skies.
