The nation, usually dry and only experiencing the odd shower at this time of year, had the heaviest rainfall ever recorded this week.

The hail storm, which dropped 1 metre (3ft) of ice, lasted 90 minutes and left much of the city completely blocked.

Government-run newspaper Hadas Eritrea reported that streets of the capital were impassable and that the storm had shocked residents who were not prepared for the extent of hail.

Eritrea, situated just south of the Sudan and on the Horn of Africa has an average yearly rainfall of just 24 inches and rare hail storms.

The storm is by far the heaviest ever recorded in the capital, according to officials.
