Powerful hailstorm strikes Lambaré during severe weather in Paraguay

On October 3, 2026, in Lambaré, Paraguay, @Pidal8A shared a video showing a heavy hailstorm striking a garden courtyard at dusk. In the video, hailstones cover the ground as intense precipitation falls around potted plants, garden walls and tropical vegetation, while warm outdoor lights illuminate the scene. According to reports, Lambaré and other cities in Paraguay’s Central Department, as well as Asunción, were affected by a powerful thunderstorm that produced exceptionally large hailstones, some reportedly approaching tennis-ball size. The storm also brought torrential rain and wind gusts of up to 100 km/h, triggering flash flooding across roads and urban areas.
