In my country, in the last few years, we have been welcoming winter rather than summer. Although most people love summer, summer has become very dangerous in terms of weather. Unfortunately, during the summer, all the strong storms are accompanied by strong winds and ice. Previously, summer rains and showers were welcomed as a refreshment. Now there is no normal rain, but strong winds that break trees and branches and lift roofs. Unfortunately, all those branches and tiles end up on cars, so you end up with damage to both your house and your car. After every heat wave, there is also heavy ice precipitation. The ice is no longer small enough to only cause damage to agriculture. Now every time the ice is over 5 centimeters in size and causes great damage to roofs and cars.
Until now, such phenomena were not so common, but in the last two years they have happened several times a year.

So far we didn't have human casulties or injuries but if it continues this way it could be. Probaby it will be dangerous stay in car during storm, but what if you travel and can't hide?

there is also heavy ice precipitation

Do you have that during the summer months? Is this weather affecting your tourism industry?

We had few smaller events but not like last year. Tourism is in another part of country on sea and they don't have such big storms with ice. This year Split had one just with winds but it didn't affect much on it tourism. Only main park had manage damaged threes and they had close it.

There was no ice but to many rain can be problem. 170 liters of rain fall down per square meter. Floods were on road. I am not sure does any sewage system can handle it.

The rain has been so heavy that it's like a desert getting a water well that suddenly fills up and causes flooding. 170 liters per square meter is a lot of pressure and any sewage system can't handle that load. When roads fill with water, they become dangerous for cars and people. As the Chinese say, a single drop of water can break a stone. A little rain can change the landscape, but a heavy rain like that can completely change the life of a neighborhood and bring pure stress.
