Hael, Saudi Arabia today....

Hail in Hael

Welcome to North Dakota, Saudi Arabia!

When Hael freezes over .

Totally no connection between the cars they are driving and the climatic conditions of course...

Torrential hail in Saudi Arabia? Well, it's not as common as sandstorms or sunshine, but it's not entirely out of the realm of desert dreams either. Saudi Arabia, with its vast deserts, does occasionally experience weather phenomena that surprise even the camels. - **Climate Considerations**: The majority of Saudi Arabia is desert, where rain is a rare guest. However, when it does rain, especially in the mountainous or hilly regions, the conditions can be ripe for some dramatic weather, including hailstorms. - **When It Happens**: Hailstorms in Saudi Arabia are more likely during the cooler months, particularly from November to February. If the atmosphere decides to throw a party and all the right conditions align (like cold upper-level air mixing with the warmer, moist air at ground level), you might witness what can only be described as a "hail of a time." - **Noteworthy Events**: There have been instances where Saudi cities have experienced significant hailstorms, leading to scenes where the desert looks like it's been sprinkled with icy diamonds. These events are memorable enough to make headlines because, well, they're as rare as finding a snowman in Riyadh. So, while torrential hail isn't an every-day affair in Saudi Arabia, when it does occur, it's like the weather gods decided to give everyone a break from the heat with some icy fun. If you're planning to visit and hoping to catch this rare spectacle, remember, it's a bit like hoping to see a UFO – thrilling if it happens, but don't bet your camels on it.

How it started #WeatherWarfare

Looks like the earth is capable of karmic justice...

A flash flood across a flat desert is something to behold, and terrifying to be near. AMHIK.

With their massive engined cars

Just weeks ago, devastating flooding destroying infrastructure and now hailstorms...wow.
