Unprecedented Snowfall in Saudi Arabia

6 comments

That was apparently in 2020. Today's forecast high in Riyadh: 27° C, well above normal.
- This is the problem with Mercator Projection. The snowfall happens in the western region, specifically in the northwest and southwest. Far from Riyadh.
- This is from two weeks ago: https://youtu.be/awXbrWpGEpU

  Ah, nice. The first video says "Shared January 16, 2020" though, so maybe it's not completely unprecedented.
  
  I like that one with the music. More snow than we've got in this part of Canada at the moment!
woulda look at that, hell froze over
