There has been so much snowfall in the Jabal al-Lawz area of Tabuk that the temperature has dropped to minus. Pictures and videos of snowfall from these areas are going viral on social media, in which people are surprised to see it. Many people are considering these pictures to be made by AI.
According to the Saudi Gazette report, there has been snowfall in the Trojana Highlands along with light to moderate rain. Rain and snowfall were also reported in areas like Bir Bin Hirmas, Al-Uyanah, Halat Ammar and Shigri. Jabal Al-Lawz, situated at an altitude of 2580 meters above sea level, is nicknamed 'Mountain of Almonds'. The snowfall in this area has attracted the attention of not only the local people but also the tourists.
Rain warning with thunder and lightning
Saudi Arabia's meteorological department, the National Center for Meteorology (NCM), has warned of thunderstorms and lightning in Riyadh, the Eastern Province and parts of the northern borders. The pictures and visuals of snowfall have shocked users on social media.
High rainfall in the desert areas of Saudi Arabia means that the soil there will retain moisture, which is essential for the growth of trees and plants. Although snowfall is not an uncommon phenomenon in Saudi Arabia's mountainous regions like Tabuk and Al-Chouf, recent weather changes have piqued people's interest.
Many are wondering whether this snowfall is the beginning of a change that could make the Arabian deserts greener. This change could not only alter the natural balance, but also open up new possibilities for Saudi Arabia's agricultural sector.

However, many users on social media are linking it to the prophecy of Prophet Mohammed and calling it near the end of the world. These users say that there was a prophecy of Prophet Mohammed, which said that 'in the last time, the Arabian Peninsula will again be green and filled with rivers.' According to this prediction, some people are believing that this snowfall could be a sign that the desert may soon become green and fertile.
