The above video, posted by 'storm chasers' Storm Centre, shows what appears to be a manhole spewing out muddy water, creating a sort of fountain in the middle of the road, as waters gush around it amidst the heavy downpour.
Mountainous regions are always the most affected when heavy rains hit the UAE. The water causes valleys to turn into rivers as run-off rainwater flows to lower grounds. The below video was taken near Hatta, in the eastern mountainous region of the country.
This morning, Al Ain residents woke up to hailstones blanketing their backyards.
