The weekend of June 1st-2nd was rather a difficult one for many producers in Salento. Heavy rain and violent hailstorms hit the Monteroni, Galatina, Sternatia, Poggiardo, Surano, Ruffano, Parabita, Matino and Guagnano municipalities, causing serious damage to watermelon, melon, tomato, zucchini and potato crops as well as many others.

"Hail stones as big as walnuts fell for around half an hour on Saturday afternoon, completely destroying my crops. We will have to leave much of the watermelons, mini-watermelons, zucchini and melons in the fields because they are no longer suitable to be sold," reports Andrea Giannini, technician from Giannini Santo in Galatina.

Strong winds and severe cold weather have battered the east coast of Australia, bringing snow as far north as the subtropical region of Queensland.

In what was described as a rare event, snow fell on alpine regions of New South Wales and in its neighbouring state on Tuesday, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology reported.

Queensland has not seen significant snowfall since 2015. Train delays and traffic accidents hit commuters in the Blue Mountains region west of Sydney after waking up to some 5cm of snow.

Rail passengers were advised to allow extra time for their journeys.

Severe weather alerts were also issued across Australia's east coast where strong gusty winds with speeds up to 130kmh (80mph) caused waves higher than 5m and trees to fall on to roads.

Ferries were cancelled for over six hours in Sydney, as Sydney Ferries said that using them was just too dangerous.
