Winter landscape in Mexico City Masses of hail drift like ice floes through the metropolis

In the particularly affected district of Cuajimalpa, enormous amounts of rain and heavy hail fell within a short space of time.

The masses of water transported huge quantities of hail through the streets, making them look like a wintery icy landscape. Rescue workers were called out on numerous missions.
