Jiddah: Several parts of Saudi Arabia, which rarely gets rain, received light showers that brought down the temperature of these areas on last night and this morning. 

There was cloudy weather last week. There were reports of light raining two days ago. But last night, normal rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning lashed here. Today, rain lashed from morning till afternoon.

Consequently, most of the roads were waterlogged and the vehicles moved with snail pace. People, who were fed up with scorching sun, have now breathed a sigh of relief. Saud Arabia had received heavy rainfall in October 2017 as well.
