Jungle Camp Hit By Giant Hailstones!
3 Nov
Summary
- Giant hailstones, the size of hen's eggs, are battering the jungle.
- Severe thunderstorms bring damaging winds and torrential rain.
- Flash flooding is a significant risk due to heavy rainfall.
The 'I'm a Celebrity' jungle camp is under threat from severe weather, including giant hailstones, damaging winds, and torrential rain. The set, located near Murwillumbah in Australia, is in an area covered by a major thunderstorm warning from the Bureau of Meteorology.
Over the past 48 hours, far north-eastern New South Wales has experienced severe thunderstorms. Forecasters report large to giant hailstones, with giant ones being egg-sized. Locations like Murwillumbah, Lismore, and Casino are at risk.
These storms are fueled by a moist and unstable air mass, potentially causing dangerous flash flooding from heavy rainfall. The Australian State Emergency Service advises residents to stay indoors and secure children and pets. The new series of 'I'm a Celebrity' is set to begin on November 16.
