Haridwar, India - October 09, 2026 A severe hailstorm struck Haridwar in Uttarakhand, with large, golf ball-sized hailstones falling onto roads and vehicles. Visuals show hailstones accumulating on a car and large chunks of ice striking a sheet with enough force to break it. Pedestrians rush for shelter as hail falls across the area. The storm created hazardous road conditions, with slippery surfaces making it difficult for motorists and two-wheeler riders to navigate. Several vehicle windshields were reportedly shattered by the hailstones, while the extent of any damage to standing crops remains unclear.
