The French capital received a month’s worth of rain in an hour and a half.
Footage has emerged showing Paris flooded.
A month’s worth of rain poured down in an hour and a half, causing Paris, the capital of France, to flood.
As a result, traffic was affected for a while. Several subway stations in Paris were closed after floodwaters gushed through stairwells.
Meteorological Center has also said that while nature has shown various aspects like thunder, lightning, strong wind and heavy rain, there may also be hail.
In this case, many videos showing rain, flood etc. are being uploaded on social media.
