- Doctors advised people with breathing problems to stay indoors, but these children didn't bother and went out to play in the rain in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi.
Dubai: A rare hail storm pounded parts of Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman on Friday night, forcing some residents hanging out to run to run for cover as pea-sized pieces of ice started peppering them for an intense few minutes.
“It's the first time I experienced this kind of hail storm in the eight years I’ve been here in Dubai,” said an Asian resident of Abu Hail.
“I was swimming in the pool on our building’s rooftop with friends at around 9pm, and I thought someone was pelting us with pebbles,” he added. The hailstorm forced many to a safer ground.
“I was walking on the road with my children when the hailstorm suddenly came," said a father of two. "We had to run for some cover because we’re not used to it -- and I thought it won’t stop anytime soon. But it’s nice to see this once in a while.”
