Residents of Moscow's Solntsevo district were surprised by a sudden hailstorm that swept through the area. The intense hail was captured on video by locals and shared on the popular Telegram channel called "Moscow with Sparkle". The footage shows large hailstones pounding against the windows of apartments, creating a loud and disturbing noise. The sounds of thunder can also be heard in the background, adding to the intensity of the storm.
The hailstorm was part of a severe rainstorm that hit Moscow, bringing with it heavy rain, thunder, and strong winds. The city was not prepared for such extreme weather conditions, as meteorologists had predicted only moderate rainfall for the week. However, leading specialist Evgeny Tishkovets from the "Phobos" Weather Center had warned that there could be heavy precipitation, with up to 50 mm of rainfall in just five days. This amount of rain is equivalent to 65% of the monthly average.
The sudden hailstorm caused alarm among the residents of Solntsevo district, many of whom filmed the event and shared their experiences on social media. Some reported damage to their properties, such as broken windows and dented cars. The force of the hailstones was evident from the footage, as they left marks and dents on various surfaces.
The unexpected weather event serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of storms and the importance of being prepared for extreme conditions. While authorities in Moscow are used to dealing with heavy rain and thunderstorms, the intensity of this hailstorm caught many off guard. The footage shared on the Telegram channel "Moscow with Sparkle" serves as a testament to the power and force of nature.
