The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been hit by biblical flooding after the country's king prayed for rain.

King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had called on the locals of Saudi Arabia to pray for rain earlier this week.

Due to a lack of rain in recent months, the King, who is also the custodian of the two holy mosques, told his people to “supplicate Allah almighty” and ask for “forgiveness and repentance”.

He also told them to do “good deeds and give charity” all while praying for rainfall.

The official decree came from the Royal Court on Tuesday (November, 22).
 
And just 24 hours later, the heavens opened – but in the most dramatic fashion.
