奇异的夏季冰雹覆盖了瓜达拉哈拉

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

并不是每个夏天墨西哥的城市都会被5英尺或更多的冰覆盖，但是瓜达拉哈拉就发生过这种情况。

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，一场反常的冰雹给这座城市蒙上了一层厚厚的冰层，造成许多房屋和车辆受损。幸运的是，目前尚无人员伤亡报告。

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.

更让人记忆深刻的是，在风暴来临之前的几天里，这座城市的气温已经接近90华氏度。

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

哈利斯科州长恩里克·阿尔法罗·拉米雷斯在Twitter上写道:“冰雹有一米多高，然后我们问自己是否存在气候变化。”

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.

当雷暴上升气流强大到足以将水滴带到冰点以上时，就会形成冰雹。水滴凝结成冰雹落到地上。

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

瓜达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.

居民们努力清除街道上的冰，官员们认为，随着气温再次上升，大部分冰将在本周初融化。

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

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

现场的照片和视频描绘了一个奇怪的景象，人们铲雪，孩子们穿着短袖衬衫在冻土带上玩耍。

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

瓜达拉哈拉因其城市的海拔高度而以偶尔发生的夏季冰雹风暴而闻名，但官员称这种冰是前所未有的。
