Alexandria Hit by Unseasonal Hailstorm, Flooding Streets
Imagine a crazy weather day in Alexandria, Egypt!
Instead of sunshine, giant hailstones fell from the sky like ice bullets.
The storm flooded the streets and made it tough for people to get around, like trying to walk through a swimming pool.
Some shops and cafes got a bit messed up too.
Luckily, nobody got hurt.
The government sent help to clean up the mess.
This unusual weather is a sign of climate change, which means the world's weather is changing in unpredictable ways.
Scientists say that because of climate change, we can expect more crazy weather events.
Alexandria, Egypt, was struck by an unseasonal hailstorm on Saturday.
The storm caused flooding, damaged businesses, and submerged underpasses.
Emergency crews worked to clear debris and tow cars after the storm.
No casualties were reported, according to Egypt's health ministry.
Scientists link the extreme weather to climate change and its impacts.
