Hailstorms have blanketed parts of Melbourne and even stopped a football game in the city's east.

An EFL reserves match between Ringwood and Heathmont was temporarily halted after players were pelted and Ringwood’s Jubilee Park was cloaked in white just after 1pm on Saturday.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Michael Efron said Melbourne's eastern suburbs were hardest hit.

"We had a number of bands of showers go through the Melbourne area and those showers did contain quite extensive hail, especially over eastern suburbs," he said.
