THE WATER

The south-west-highlands flash-flood regime holds for another day. Red alerts stand for Al-Majardah and Rijal Almaa in Asir and for Al-Baha, with thunderstorms, hail and torrents across the Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha and Makkah highlands and Civil Defence advisories in force. No casualties are reported. A run that has now outlasted several of the board's louder stories.
