The region of Hail in Saudi Arabia was buried in several inches of ice on Saturday after severe thunderstorms battered the area.

Videos circulating on social media showed thick dark clouds enveloping the sky and blocks of hail on the ground.

Omar Dajani, meteorologist at Jordan-based ArabiaWeather network, said that the hailstorm hit southwestern Hail in Saudi Arabia in the afternoon.

“This is hail, not snow, and the temperature was high, around 28 degrees Celsius, when the storm hit,” he added.

Photographer Abdullah al-Suleimi said shared pictures of the desert covered in a thick layer of hail in Al-Uthmour Bahrah Bani Rashid region in Hail.

By any standard, that is a lot of hail.

By any standard, that is a lot of hail.

Yes, indeed. An impressive amount.

"The worldly hope men set their hearts upon
Turns ashes, or it prospers, and anon,
Like snow upon the desert's dusty face,
Lighting a little hour or two was gone."

I was thinking the same regarding that camel. He must be, like, WTF?

Interesting pics.

It is common in the Midwest to have large amounts of hail to come out of the high thunderstorms.

We had one in Graham TX in the mid 70’s just cover up the town with about a foot of hail, and drifts over two feet.

Happened during finals testing that year in May. Most windows in the old junior high were broken out and every house in some parts of town sustained damage.

Officially no tornadoes touched down but we had a new respect for the big storms.

Wonder where the camel sheltered during the storm?

What the hail?

If that sort of wet weather keeps up, maybe the Sahara region will go back to being a temperate region as it was before the comet strikes in 10,800 BC.

Globull warming.

Wow.

That’s Biblical.

Now we know what Egypt looked like and what pharaoh had to deal with.

I bet that camel has some lumps on his head.
