The police have advised motorists to avoid low-lying areas due to an ongoing thunderstorm.
Heavy rain and hail was reported in several localities particularly in the North and East of Malta, particularly San Gwann, Swieqi and Kappara.
At San Gwann a driver said cars stopped and parked for some 10 minutes because of the hazard from hail on the road.
At Birkirkara bypass another driver said the rainfall for a short while was so heavy that he could not drive.
