German city hit by massive hail storm

We’ve been getting pelted hard in the states. Just had one hammer a town to the south before it was hit by a tornado.

So, we’re skipping straight to winter already. I did see some of the first signs of autumn already, but you guys are just speedrunning this.

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

No it's projected to go up towards the 30 degrees next week again. Also, the last time I remember having 30 cm snow was a couple decades ago or so. You know, when we also owned sleds and were actually able to use them. I really don't need 30 cm hail though, but I guess the pieces weren't that large at least. I once witnessed a hail storm that had near golf sized ones, which really fucking hurt.
