That, friends, is the scene in Turkey's capital, where the hail is reported to have been up to 9cm in diameter. We don't have to inform you that a chunk of ice that size would do some serious damage to anyone or anything that happened to have found themselves outdoors at the time. It is just the latest in a series of weather-incidents across Southern Europe and Eastern Asia. According to Weather.com, seven cities in Spain have recorded their record highs for the month of July this year, including Grenada, where the temperatures have peaked above 43 degrees. Meanwhile, heatwaves in Italy have caused massive wild-fires, and the culture ministry in Greece was forced to close down several tourist attractions due to dangerous high temperatures recorded there.Istanbul, yesterday.
