In a rare spectacle that captivated residents, Mount Sabr, overlooking the city of Taiz (southwest Yemen), was blanketed in white on Friday, July 17, 2026, following a heavy hailstorm that swept through the highlands.

Videos circulating online showed hailstones covering the mountain's slopes and peaks, an exceptional weather phenomenon that evoked memories of winter despite the arrival of summer. The scene was widely captured by citizens using their mobile phones.

Mount Sabr is one of the most prominent mountain ranges in Yemen, and its peaks occasionally experience unique weather phenomena. However, the density of the hail that covered large parts of it this time made the scene resemble a rare winter wonderland in mid-July.
