Video: Siberian sunbathers flee from golf balls sized hailstones

Summer in Siberia doesn't look so great...

Summer in Siberia doesn’t look so great…

When it comes to choosing our summer holiday location, JOE isn’t very specific. Give us a place with some sun, sand and a decent bar within walking distance from our hotel and we’re happy.

After seeing this video though, we may have a few reservations about holidaying in the remote Russian region of Siberia. We don’t really fancy having to pick up our towel’s in a desperate panic as we flee for cover.

Children are screaming, debris is falling everywhere and gigantic hailstones are causing people to run in all directions. Just another lovely day on the beach. Take a look.

All of a sudden the Irish summer doesn’t look to bad now does it?
