Police and emergency services rescued hundreds of people during a storm 13 to 14 April, 2019, which caused major flash flooding in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the United Arab Emirates.

Local media said that Ras Al Khaimah police announced on Monday that the total number of people rescued in the weekend's flooding reached 702, with 20 families provided hotel accommodation after their homes suffered flood damage.

Over 3,000 calls for assistance were made during the storm and hundreds of vehicles have been reportedly damaged. No fatalities have been reported however.

Hailstorm and torrential rainfall hit many parts of Athens on Monday afternoon, as adverse weather conditions continue to affect wide swaths of the country. The nation has experienced inclement, and at times severe, weather for the past week.

The hailstorm affected central parts of the Greek capital, in an event which is very rare for downtown Athenians.

At least 26 people were killed and scores of others injured as rains and windstorm wreaked havoc across Pakistan over the last two days.

While there were no official figures regarding rain-related casualties, local media reported on Tuesday that the country's southwestern Balochistan province was worst-hit in the rains where nine people were killed and over 50 others injured, making the provincial disaster management authority issue an alert in the province.

Nine people were killed and scores of others injured in separate rain-triggered accidents in the country's eastern Punjab province while five fatalities were reported in the southern port city of Karachi of south Sindh province where dust storm paralyzed life on Monday.

Three people including a toddler were killed in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Five people are reported dead after a dust storm engulfed the city of Karachi in Pakistan.

Local media have reported up to 86 people were also injured following the storm early on Monday.

Pakistani news channel Geo News reported one man died after a tree fell on him, while two children were among the fatalities in separate incidents.

Meanwhile, it said five students were injured and rushed to hospital after the roof of their school collapsed. The imam of a mosque was also hurt after the building's makeshift roof collapsed.

Dramatic videos posted on social media showed strong winds battering the city, with trees appearing close to being uprooted.

On April 10, 2019, YouTuber user 'Peter The Pleater' recorded two strange sound events he heard at his home in Shirehampton, Bristol, UK:

First heard 10pm, last heard 3am on night of 10th/11th April 2019. Repetitive trumpet/metal grinding sound that was at times very loud.

Woke up my children, and later me. Very strange. We live in Shirehampton, near Bristol Port so this could conceivably be big ships moored in the harbour making groaning noises, but otherwise I am not sure what to think! Was genuinely spooked by it. Sounds a lot like the 2018 Gothenburg video.

The roaring background noise is the M5 motorway which is somewhat dampening the strange sound. It was much clearer/louder in real life.

On March 15, 2019, YouTube user 'User Name' recorded video of strange sky noises he heard in Dublin, Ireland:

Persistent and irritating strange noise seemingly coming from the sky. It was captured on the morning of the 15th March 2019 from North County Dublin. The noise first started about two years ago and seems to have increased in frequency and intensity. The noise has been heard in all types of weather, night or day. It has been heard in different locations along Dublin's North coast simultaneously. I can categorically state it is not wind related!..

YouTube user 'Johnny Markus' uploaded video footage of strange trumpeting sounds he heard from his Montreal office on February 5, 2019:

I was at work on February 5th 2019 in Saint-Laurent, Montreal, when I started to hear this strange sound from my office between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM. At first I thought it must be the snowplows or some machinery scraping the asphalt but when I opened the window to hear it better, it struck me as being extremely similar to the weird sounds heard worldwide since the last few years, including several instances in Quebec. It went intensely for about 20 minutes (that I could hear) and then could still be heard sometimes through the afternoon although with a dimmer sound. When I left at around 4:30 PM, it had completely stopped.

On January 8, 2019, YouTube user 'Heather Carey Vlogs' shared footage of strange noises she heard in the Ohio sky:

This morning there was strange noises in the sky! Sounded like a jet, but there was NO jet in sight! No airports are around where I live! The sky was dark and it was windy, but it's definitely not thunder or wind! The sounds were way louder and more frequent before I pulled my phone out and started recording! It lasted for about 45 minutes to an hour!

The end of March and the beginning of April have been marked by various storms, which have so far damaged 2,192.99 hectares of crops in Extremadura. That is the provisional data offered by Agroseguro, although this figure will likely increase in the coming days, as more damage reports arrive.

The storms, of diverse intensity, started in the last weekend of March. In the first week of April, they intensified in some points of the region, such as Feria, Navalvillar de Pela, Castuera or Siruela. The direct consequence of the hail is that a good share of the fruit trees has been damaged. In fact, of those almost 2,200 hectares in which hail has been recorded, 1,806.49 are planted with fruit trees, which is 82.4% of the total area affected. The most affected region is Las Vegas Altas del Guadiana.

Snow cover in the western and northwest mountain basins has witnessed a 20% rise compared to last year.

According to ISNA, snow has covered almost 275,000 kilometers in Iran and when it starts melting it will produce a huge volume of water.

"Snow in mountains streaming down to Karkheh and Dez Rivers cover 15,000 kilometers," Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian said, noting that when the snow melts, it will produce an estimated 1.5 billion cubic meters of water, a massive part of which is expected to be collected in dams.

The minister said 76% of the dams are full due to the recent high precipitation which has inflicted serious loss on many regions.
