(Photos from social media) Hail hit parts of Wayanad on Monday. Parts of Wayanad district in Kerala experienced a rare hail storm on Monday with roads soon turning white. In fact, some said, quite rightly so, that the images gave the impression that it was a snow storm and not a hail storm. The hail storm lasted close to an hour and left standing crop damaged in some parts of the mostly agrarian district. Incidentally, Kerala is in the grip of one of its worst summers in recent history with record temperatures being recorded across the state.
