Even the desert climate of Nevada isn’t immune to a spot of rain, as Las Vegas residents recently found out.

With temperatures reaching the low 40s at this time of year, monsoon-like conditions were the last thing people expected.
Watch as blue skies turn grey and the city’s skyscrapers fall under a blanket of water, all in the space of this stunning 15-second clip.
