Josh Klassen’s Wild Weather Week on October 31st

Josh Klassen’s Wild Weather Week on October 31st

Check out the weird weather from around the world last week.

Severe thunderstorms in Spain produced golf ball-sized hail that caused extensive damage and wrecked countless vehicles.

The storms were accompanied by torrential rains, with some areas receiving more than a month’s worth of rain in just 24 hours.

Flash flooding in parts of Spain has turned streets into rivers, washing away vehicles.

At least 95 people have died, and the number could rise in the coming days.

A rare sight in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), social media has been flooded with photos and videos of a tornado erupting from the ground.

Fortunately, the tornado formed over a sparsely populated part of the desert.

Despite the fact that it is located near the roadway, there were no injuries or significant damage.

Tornadoes are extremely rare in this part of the world.

It is estimated that only a few tornadoes occur in the UAE per decade.

If we talk about rarity, floods happen in the Sahara desert.

Recently released footage from drones and satellites shows the extent of heavy rain that hit southeastern Morocco in late September.

In two days, more rain fell in this area than it normally does in a whole year.

The rains partially filled some lakes that were dry at the end of August.

This is only the sixth time in the last quarter of a century that rain has provided enough moisture to fill a Sahara lake.

Experts say the water in one of the revived lakes is deep enough to last about a year before it dries up again.
