A freak hailstorm in the Mexican city of Guadalajara has left cars and trucks buried under a thick layer of ice, despite temperatures reaching 32C.
The incredible photographs show people climbing over the top of the metre-thick ice, submerging cars up to their windscreen.
The Mexican army has been called in to help city workers clear the streets, with diggers being used to break up chunks of ice.
The ice reached thicknesses of up to a metre in some parts, after Guadalajara was hit by hail.
Governor Enrique Alfaro tweeted that he had "never seen" weather like it, remarking "and then we wonder if climate change exists".
He added: "Most important of all, there is no record of injured people or human losses so far".
