Did it really snow today on the Grand Mosque in Mecca? .. Arab weather answers

Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - ArabiaWeather received many questions about the validity of the rolling video clip, which rarely shows "according to its circulation" snowfall on the Grand Mosque in Makkah Al-Mukarramah.

About this, the Arab Weather wishes to note that this circulating video is a technically modified video using filters, knowing that the temperature in Makkah today reached 30 degrees Celsius, which are high temperatures with which it is impossible for snow to fall, in addition to the fact that the region is not climatically prepared for snowfall.

The circulation of this fabricated clip comes in light of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia being affected by unstable weather conditions, and rain is expected for Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the holy sites.
