奇異的夏季冰雹覆蓋了瓜達拉哈拉

It's not every summer that a city in Mexico gets covered in 5 or more feet of ice, but it happened in Guadalajara.

并不是每個夏天墨西哥的城市都會被5英尺或更多的冰覆蓋，但是瓜達拉哈拉就發(fā)生過這種情況。

A freak hailstorm covered the city in a thick blanket of ice on June 30, leaving behind many damaged homes and vehicles. Luckily, no injuries have been reported.

6月30日，一場反常的冰雹給這座城市蒙上了一層厚厚的冰層，造成許多房屋和車輛受損。幸運的是，目前尚無人員傷亡報告。

To make the incident even more memorable, the temperature in the city had been nearly 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the days leading up to the storm.

更讓人記憶深刻的是，在風暴來臨之前的幾天里，這座城市的氣溫已經(jīng)接近90華氏度。

"The hail more than a meter high, and then we asked ourselves if Climate change exists," Jalisco Gov. Enrique Alfaro Ramírez wrote on Twitter.

哈利斯科州長恩里克·阿爾法羅·拉米雷斯在Twitter上寫道:“冰雹有一米多高，然后我們問自己是否存在氣候變化。”

Hail forms when thunderstorm updrafts are strong enough to carry water droplets above freezing level. The droplets freeze into hailstones and fall to the ground.

當雷暴上升氣流強大到足以將水滴帶到冰點以上時，就會形成冰雹。水滴凝結(jié)成冰雹落到地上。

The hail in Guadalajara was the size of a marble or smaller.

瓜達拉哈拉的冰雹大小像大理石，或者更小。

Residents worked to clear the ice from the streets. Officials believe most of the ice will melt early this week as temperatures rise again.

居民們努力清除街道上的冰，官員們認為，隨著氣溫再次上升，大部分冰將在本周初融化。

Officials are working to help residents and businesses affected by the storm.

官員們正在努力幫助受風暴影響的居民和企業(yè)。

Photos and videos from the scene depict a strange sight as people shoveled and kids played in the tundra wearing short-sleeve shirts.

現(xiàn)場的照片和視頻描繪了一個奇怪的景象，人們鏟雪，孩子們穿著短袖襯衫在凍土帶上玩耍。

Guadalajara is known for experiencing occasional summer hail storms due to the city's altitude, but officials say this sort of ice is unprecedented.

瓜達拉哈拉因其城市的海拔高度而以偶爾發(fā)生的夏季冰雹風暴而聞名，但官員稱這種冰是前所未有的。
