A series of intense hail storms have left locals stunned in southern Spain today.
The worst of the freak weather has been recorded in Murcia, which was placed on a yellow alert for the hail on Saturday.
Footage shared on X from the town of Jumilla showed enormous hail stones crashing against cars and the ground.
A local man recording the video can be heard shouting in astonishment at the huge sound being created, saying: ‘This is scary, man!’
One photo showed a resident holding three giant hail stones in their hand, showing how they were similar in size to golf balls.
