It doesn't rain often here in Jeddah, but when it rains, it pours. The winter months are when the rainy season is, although the first few years I lived here, it didn't rain at all - ever! Jeddah is not equipped to handle rain - there is no drainage system in place, so the water just sits, sometimes for days. In past years, people have died when it rained. Tunnels fill with water and people drive into them in their cars and drown. Others step into the standing water and get electrocuted by fallen wires.
