Yemen regions wear white in summer

Areas in Yemen, particularly Jabal Sabr in Taiz Governorate, experienced a powerful hailstorm yesterday, Friday. This led to a large accumulation of hailstones in the mountainous area, creating a rare summer scene where the place appeared as if it was covered in snow. The phenomenon is attributed to a strong thunderstorm that lifted high cumulonimbus clouds, releasing hail as a result of hailstones forming within the storm clouds due to rising and falling air currents. These currents cause the hailstones to grow larger through ongoing freezing and accumulation until they fall to the ground. According to specialists, the size of the hail and the intensity of the precipitation depend on the strength of the air currents within the clouds, which resulted in significant accumulations resembling snow, although the event was not caused by snowfall.
