Kaaba in Heavy rain at night,

Mecca, 26 Dzulqa’dah 1437/29 August 2016 (MINA) – Although lasting just about 15 minutes, a brief spell of heavy rain over this holy city today brought much joy to pilgrims performing the fifth pillar of Islam and Mecca residents.

It was the first time it rained in Mecca after the last time sometime in the month of Ramadan. The short spell started at 4.30pm local time.

“Alhamdulillah (thank God) it is less hot,” Bernama quoted Abdullah Ahmad, 52, a Malaysian pilgrim, as saying.

It is the hot season in the Holy Land and peak temperatures as high as 43 degrees Celcius is nothing unusual.
