Hail formed 30cm drifts in Reutlingen requiring snowploughs to be deployed, at the height of summer.

    Pretty sure summer isn’t over

    Weather is just in complete chaos right now and probably for the the foreseeable future.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if we’d get more than 30° again before August is over.

    Also hail isn’t a thing in autumn in Germany usually.

      Hail is definitely a summer thing here, storms in general actually - or at least they were before all the constant droughts and heat waves. I actually feel this summer was a lot closer to how I remember them from when I was a kid.

        Yeah I’m not denying that

        It’s not uncommon in summer but to that extent it is - and my comment only said that it’s not an autumn thing in Germany and I stand by that since it’s usually only happening during summer storms or in winter

        In autumn it usually just rains since we don’t have those extreme short storms after a calm day the same way we have in summer and hail only happens with those
