Saudi Arabia’s National Center for Meteorology reported that heavy rainfall was accompanied by hailstones on Nov. 2. Many referred to the hail as snowfall, likely due to its appearance, but temperatures were simply too warm to support winter precipitation. According to nearby observation data, temperatures likely maxed out in the 70s and 80s on the day that the hail fell.
