Videos from neighbourhoods including Al Majaz, Khalidiya and Al Estiqlal show cars partially underwater and residents wading through flooded roads, while authorities warned motorists to exercise caution as heavy showers continue. Similar downpours hit parts of southern Saudi Arabia. Experts warn that such extreme weather in the Gulf, rare in this normally arid region, is being intensified by global warming.
