A hailstorm in the desert

This usually very hot desert region saw its temperatures drop drastically last week, reaching only 7°C. #SaudiArabia : Siberian landscape from hail & lightning in far north in al-Qurayyat #القريات pic.twitter.com/fVPbRbahC4 — sebastian usher […]

A rare phenomenon, but not unprecedented, since another storm had hit the country in early November, at Mount Dhaka, about 20 km from the capital Riyadh. In November 2020, a similar phenomenon took place in the same region, located near the Jordanian border: violent storms had generated a rain of hailstones on the sandy soil of the desert.
