The very last thing on the minds of these sun worshippers on a beach in Novosibirsk, Siberia, was the risk of being caught up in a vicious hail storm.
As Serbian swimmers enjoyed the heat of the sun on Saturday, with temperatures reaching 37c, on the banks of the Ob river the weather suddenly broke and hail the size of golf balls rained down.
Like a scene from a Hollywood apocalyptic movie the beach-goers were forced to rush for shelter with some receiving superficial bruising from the hail.
