First-Ever Snowfall Transforms Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf Desert into Winter Wonderland

For the first time in history, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf desert region is covered in snow, surprising locals and meteorologists alike. Following heavy rain and hail, a blanket of snow has transformed the typically arid landscape into a stunning winter scene.

The Saudi Press Agency reports that snow now covers Al-Jawf’s mountains and valleys, with waterfalls flowing through the area’s revitalized terrain. This rare occurrence is expected to create a lush spring bloom, encouraging flowers and plants to flourish across the region.

As this severe weather pattern persists, authorities have issued warnings for thunderstorms, more rain, and possible hail. Similar weather conditions have been observed in parts of the UAE, influenced by low-pressure systems from the Arabian Sea.
