- Tennis ball-sized hail smashes windows and damages roofs as huge storm downs trees in northern Texas
- Hail larger than softballs pummeled Cordoba, Argentina (PHOTO, VIDEO)
- Intense storm produces large hail accumulations in Biblián, Ecuador
- Severe storm produces large hail accumulations in Mersin, Turkey
- Intense hailstorm in Cordoba, Argentina leaves hail accumulations of 1.5 m (4.9 feet) within 15 minutes
- Giant hail damages cars as freak hailstorm hits Corrientes, Argentina
- Freak hailstorm wreaked havoc in Johannesburg, South Africa
- Intense hailstorm leaves hail accumulation of 50cm in Teruel, Spain
- Exceptional hailstorm hits Girona, Spain (VIDEOS)
- Freak summer hailstorm hits Istria, Croatia on the Adriatic Sea
- Snowballs in July? St. Petersburg covered with piles of 'snow' after heavy hailstorm
It is likely that atmospheric dust loading from increased comet and volcanic activity is contributing to these 'intense' or 'freak' hailstorms, the cooling effect of which causes ice crystals to form.
