Paging Al Gore. Some people are ready to believe in climate change in Eritrea.

Hail, hail, the gang's all here.
The country of Eritrea was an Italian colony and the name is the Italian version of the ancient Greek word for the Red Sea.

.... “rain storm has dumped as much as 1m (3ft) of hail”. Uh, I believe we might refer to it as a hail storm. I remember driving towards Muleshoe TX one
summer right after a huge thunderstorm went through and noticed it was getting very cool outside and topping a rise saw hail about 6” deep for a long way. Spooky feeling to it. Mother natures air conditioner.

One meter and 3 feet are not the same thing idiotsIf you want precise: 1 metre = 39.3700787 inches.
For the purposes of the news article, I think that 3 feet is close enough. Besides, I doubt that EXACTLY 1.00000 metres of hail fell, it could have been that only 0.914400001 metres of hail fell in which case, it was EXACTLY 3 feet of hail.

It was small hail judging from the lack of damage on the truck in the second picture.
