Hail pelted roads as heavy rain lashed parts of the UAE on Thursday afternoon, prompting authorities to issue yellow and orange alerts.
A downpour with hail was recorded in Sharjah, particularly over the Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed road towards Al Madam at around 4.30pm. Showers were also reported in the emirate's Al Rwaidha, Al Faya and Al Bahayes areas.
The wet weather comes as a welcome respite amidst hot summer days in the country. A resident was seen stepping out of his car for a while to get a feel of the blessing:
