A hailstorm, accompanied by heavy rains, has hit parts of UAE. A yellow alert had earlier been issued by the nation's Met Department earlier on Thursday.
Fujairah is experiencing heavy rains, causing water to pool on roads. Cars can be seen wading across the shallow floods, spraying water as they drive past. Authorities across the emirate have also geared up, helping residents on the road by directing traffic.
In a video shared by Storm Centre, heavy rains can be seen as the person recording greets others driving by. Watch the video below:
