Pretty sure summer isn't over

Weather is just in complete chaos right now and probably for the the foreseeable future.

Wouldn't be surprised if we'd get more than 30° again before August is over.

Also hail isn't a thing in autumn in Germany usually.

Hail is definitely a summer thing here, storms in general actually - or at least they were before all the constant droughts and heat waves. I actually feel this summer was a lot closer to how I remember them from when I was a kid.

Yeah I'm not denying that

It's not uncommon in summer but to that extent it is - and my comment only said that it's not an autumn thing in Germany and I stand by that since it's usually only happening during summer storms or in winter

In autumn it usually just rains since we don't have those extreme short storms after a calm day the same way we have in summer and hail only happens with those
