Unusual weather conditions have brought heavy hail across parts of Saudi Arabia's Najd region, transforming the normally dry desert landscape into a blanket of white ice. The remarkable scenes come amid a period of increased rainfall across the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia's National Center for Meteorology has forecast above-average rainfall across several regions during November 2026, with some areas potentially experiencing very heavy downpours.

Claims that precipitation across the Najd Desert has exceeded the historical average by more than six times over the past two years have not been independently confirmed. Hail can form during powerful thunderstorms when strong upward air currents carry water droplets into freezing layers of the atmosphere. The unusual weather highlights the potential for extreme conditions even in desert environments.
