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.
