Spain has been hit by a severe hailstorm, causing widespread damage and disruption. The storm, which hit several regions including Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha, brought hailstones the size of golf balls, with some even larger. The extreme weather conditions have caused power cuts, damage to buildings and cars, and the closure of roads. The Spanish meteorological agency, AEMET, issued warnings of storms and hail earlier in the week, but the severity of the hailstorm took many by surprise. Emergency services have been working to clear debris from the streets and restore power to affected areas. Social media has been flooded with images and videos of the hailstorm, with many residents shocked at the scale of the damage. Local authorities have urged people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until the situation improves. This hailstorm comes as Europe experiences a spate of extreme weather events, including flooding in Germany and Belgium and wildfires in Greece and Turkey.
