This summer has been one of the >hottest ever in Saudi Arabia, but in some areas of the kingdom, the weather seems to be changing.
This is especially the case in the South of the country, specifically in Assir city's Khamis Mushait governorate.
The city was flooded by rain early on Wednesday morning. The slight summer storm drowned cars and left people trapped in their homes.
According to Okaz newspaper, the official spokesperson of the civil defense in Assir said teams were sent out to rescue scores of people who were trapped in their homes, as water came rushing in.
This includes a family of four who was pulled out of a ground floor apartment.
Naturally, the chaotic flooding scenes made it to social media, as thousands shared photos and videos on Twitter.
