Europe is facing one of the most unstable springs in recent years. The storms are bringing heavy rains, hail, and widespread instability across the continent.
Still, this time it is Paris that is getting one of the worst parts. Just two weeks before June, the French capital has been plunged into chaos due to an impressive hailstorm. This has caused severe flooding and the closure of metro stations.
In addition to the hail, the city is also experiencing strong electrical storms, turning the Eiffel Tower into an attraction for lightning. This is because its 325-meter height and its representative shape make it a very peculiar lightning rod.
