On August 28, 2026, in Winterthur, Zürich, Switzerland, @climbandhike23 shared footage showing a severe hailstorm battering a residential area. In the video, very large hailstones fall heavily across a lawn and surrounding property, rapidly scattering white ice across the green grass. Strong winds whip through nearby trees as the intense hail and heavy precipitation significantly reduce visibility. A vehicle and several modern buildings can be seen through the storm in the background. According to reports, the severe storms affecting the region produced hailstones measuring up to 6–8 cm in diameter and wind gusts reaching up to 142 km/h.
