Multiple posted by weather-related handle Storm Centre show the glorious downpours across the country, accompanied by blustery winds and shallow pool-filled roads.
One video shows heavy rain pattering against the windshield of a car as wipers frantically sweep it away; another shows pools of rain gently billowing across a road in Khorfakkan as trees gently sway in the wind.
