River of hail sweeps through sizzling Arabian desert

A raging river of hail has flowed through the Arabian desert as unprecedented weather conditions hit the Middle East.

Icicles can be seen sweeping their way through the sizzling Saudi Arabian sand in a country more often known for it’s heated weather.

The surreal footage was filmed at an unknown location and shows a man proudly holding a cigarette and handful of ice as the videographer films nature's freakish twist.

The extreme weather conditions have sparked an ‘apocalyptic’ discussion online among Christian evangelicals, some commenting that it may be ’signs of the end’.

"There was an ice storm in the desert. This surely is a sign that 'Hell freezes over’,” the Express commented.

19 people have been killed from the extreme weather and the floods alone have claimed six lives, '' The Mirror’’ reported.

The strange downpours have also triggered floods across Iraq and Iran causing the Iraqi government to declare a state of emergency to deal with the chaotic weather.

Local meteorologists have predicted eight years of rain in just two days over the Arabian Sea as seasonal low pressure brings huge downpours to Iraq and Iran as well.

The video has been viewed over 50,000 times since it was uploaded online to LiveLeak.
