Heavy rain affected the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Lightning struck the 601-meter-high Royal Clock Tower in Mecca, one of the world’s tallest buildings, and the moments when night turned into day were captured on camera.

Despite the heavy rain, Muslims in the Kaaba continued to pray.

The General Directorate of Civil Defense of Saudi Arabia warned the Saudi people and tourists against heavy rains and floods and called for avoiding contact with metal objects that conduct electric current. (UAV)
