The pea-sized chunks of ice also caused damage to farmers, the victims said. The torrential rain and hail came down after 11.30am today.
Intense rainfall is observed over the extreme southern regions of our country, specifically over Kardzhali region and Smolyan region.
Precipitation over these areas exceeded 20-30l/sq.m intensity in one hour (that is, heavy downpour). If it continues to rain like this, it will raise the riverbed levels in the area.
