Rain, Thunder and Lightning over Fujairah

The National reported early Wednesday 14 January 2009:

“Rain fell in the UAE yesterday, ranging from a light sprinkling in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to thunderstorms in the northern Emirates.”

“In Fujairah, rain in the mountains above Masafi and Dibba caused floods in normally dry wadis and on some farmland. Forecasters predicted more rain.”

The forecasters were right. Heavy rain with thunder and lightning hit Fujairah city at four this morning.
