- Published
The UK was hit with some pretty bad weather after a mini tornado swept through Cheshire and parts of Greater Manchester on Friday.
The extreme weather caused damage to buildings and cars.
Trees were also uprooted and some residents in the affected areas experienced power cuts.
Examples of freakish weather have been spotted across the world.
Check out these other crazy weather moments!
Snowstorm in Australia
Australia experienced some very strange weather last month.
A snowstorm swept across the east coast, which includes the states of Queensland and New South Wales.
Queensland in the north-east of Australia usually has tropical, hot and humid weather with summer temperatures reaching 40 Celsius.
However meteorologists recorded significant snowfall in the tropical state for the first time since 2015.
June marks the beginning of winter in Australia, whose seasons are the opposite to ours.
So in December in the UK when it is cold and snowy, it is the middle of summer in Australia.
Polar vortex in America
Earlier this year parts of America were trapped in a Polar Vortex.
Temperatures were as low as -20 Celsius in some parts, and people were advised to not go outside unless necessary.
成人快手 reporter Harry Low was in Chicago where temperatures dropped to -30 Celsius.
He tried out a stunt in which you throw boiling water in the air and it freezes instantly. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. It could be dangerous and only works in extreme low temperatures.
Blood rain in the UK
Earlier this year the UK experienced an unusual weather phenomenon called 'Blood rain'.
Though it may sound like something out of a horror film, 'blood rain' is not as scary as it sounds.
The red rain gets its blood-like colour thanks to sand or dirt which is picked up from the deserts in Africa by the wind.
The dust then falls in the rain when showers happen leaving red/brown stains.
Extreme hailstorm in Italy
In Autumn 2018, Italy experienced a freak storm.
After a period of very hot weather, suddenly places like Rome were experiencing major hailstorms and torrential rain.
Cars and other vehicles became trapped in the ice, and the emergency services were called in to help rescue people.
