Spain has been hit by a severe hailstorm, causing widespread damage and disruption. The storm, which struck on Tuesday afternoon, brought hailstones the size of tennis balls and strong winds, toppling trees and damaging buildings. The worst-affected areas were the regions of Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, and Valencia, where emergency services received numerous calls for help. Images on social media showed cars with shattered windscreens, streets covered in ice, and people seeking shelter from the storm. Local authorities have warned residents to stay indoors and avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. The Spanish meteorological agency has also issued a yellow alert for the affected regions, predicting more thunderstorms and heavy rain in the coming days. The hailstorm is the latest in a series of extreme weather events that have hit Spain in recent months. Last year, the country experienced its worst winter storm in 50 years, causing widespread power outages and travel disruption.
