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

William Reynolds, a professional poker player from the United States, captured the unseasonal rainstorm that engulfed Sin City in the middle of summer. 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. https://twitter.com/ReynoldsXO/status/618508930088484864
