[video] Spring Showers in Riyadh

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

The drought here in Riyadh continues with no real hopes of any serious rainfall this season, especially with summer right around the corner. So lets do the next best thing - watch a video of the kids playing in last year's plentiful rain. :-)

Enjoy!

Assalaamu alaikum,
I saw the title of the post and thought huh?? How on earth could I have missed rain?! lol. Ohhhh, you mean last year! hehe. Yup serious lack of the stuff this year and all I am hearing from the family in the UK is that there is almost non-stop rain there! Ya Rabbi.
Humza aka Wild Boy was really getting stuck into splashing around there! Umm Ibrahim

Maybe the UAE can help you out with our man-made showers?

"Many UAE motorists making their way home on Tuesday would have put the dark skies and light rain down to just a freak occurrence, but in fact the unseasonably bad weather could have been manmade as scientists were carrying out tests to induce artificial rain."
