Hail the storm

Snippet:

Rainfall and hailstorm in several parts of Delhi and adjoining areas at around 3.30 pm considerably brought down the temperature.

Temperature dropped by almost 13 degrees, from 38.4 degrees to 25.6 degree Celsius within five minutes, with winds blowing at 96 km per hour gusting through the city bringing rain and hail, the weather department said.


Another 13 degree drop consecutively for the next 10 minutes and you would get to see snow in Delhi :) Unbelievable drop in temperature!

In more strange news, I saw a camel eat snow in the desert on National Geographic...yes, it snows in some of the deserts!!!
