Saudi Arabia is experiencing a pretty wild weather shift lately, and it’s definitely catching everyone’s attention. Temperatures in Riyadh have dropped to a surprisingly cool 16°C, making the usually hot city feel like a breezy getaway. But it’s not just Riyadh that’s seeing some action – cities like Jeddah and Makkah have been hit with some heavy rainfall, bringing much-needed relief and giving the streets a fresh, rainy vibe that’s a rare treat.

But hold on, the best part might just be coming from Qassim, where a recent hailstorm turned the desert landscape into something out of a winter wonderland

Yep, you read that right – hailstones fell in the middle of the desert, and now videos of the event are popping up all over social media. The desert dunes, usually covered in golden sands, were instead blanketed in white, with huge hailstones resting on top. It’s a rare sight, and people can’t get enough of it!

With this sudden weather shift, it feels like Saudi Arabia is experiencing a little taste of every season all at once
