About Rain Radar

Rain Radar is a free live rain radar and weather site for Saudi Arabia. It shows where it is raining right now and what to expect over the coming hours and days in cities across the Kingdom — useful whether you live here, have just moved, or are visiting for Umrah, Hajj, work or travel.

• A weather page for each of 51 cities: current conditions, hourly and 7-day forecasts, UV index, sunrise and sunset, air quality and dust. Browse all cities.
• The weather blog: guides to reading the radar, the rainy seasons, and staying safe in floods, dust storms and heat.
