Parts of the UAE hit by heavy rain

Heavy rain associated with lightning, thunder and hailstorms hit parts of the UAE on Saturday.

In Fujairah city and Khorfakkan, the rains led to waterlogging on the streets.

The heavy rains also hit the surrounding mountain villages and led to the flow of water in valleys and on the transit road in Khorfakkan.

The UAE’s National Centre for Meterology and Seismology (NCMS) posted several videos on Twitter showing the heavy rains and hail.
