Weren't they looking at 50*c heat this week?

Spin the wheel of weather Italy, pay no mind to global warming making it wilder and wilder.

It's almost as though one end of it is really far south in the Mediterranean and the other end is really far up in the Alps

This is still very wild weather, in addition to the massive flooding they had in May

Oh man, that’s some serious shit. In Italy, those gnarled clumps of hail are referred to as Il testicolo congelato di Satana which, translated to English means Satan’s Frozen Testicle.

Mama mia.

I thought it was odd getting hail where I'm at in July, but I'm glad it wasn't that big.
