A man was surprised to see people wading through floodwaters in Florida’s Broward County on Wednesday, June 12, as heavy rain continued in the region.

Footage taken by Leon Zhivelev shows throughout Wednesday afternoon shows torrential rain, high floodwaters submerge a car, and two people walking down a street in Hallandale Beach.

“You are not going for a stroll right now,” Zhivelev says in the video, adding that it was “no time for a stroll.”

On Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned rain was falling at rates up to 6 inches an hour in the region and a flood watch would remain in effect through Thursday evening. Credit: Leon Zhivelev via Storyful

No lie: Perfectly preserved centuries-old cherries unearthed at George Washington's Mount Vernon
George Washington never did cut down the cherry tree, despite the famous story to the contrary, but he did pack away quite a few bottles of the fruit at his Mount Vernon home. Dozens of bottles of cherries and berries — impossibly preserved in storage pits uncovered from the cellar of his mansion on the banks of the Potomac River — were discovered during an archaeological dig connected to a restoration project. Jason Boroughs, Mount Vernon's principal archaeologist, said the discovery of so much perfectly preserved food from more than 250 years ago is essentially unprecedented.

UK weather: Europe swelters in heatwaves while UK remains cool - what's going on with the weather?
The longest day of the year is almost here, but there has been barely a hint of summer in the UK - while parts of Europe swelter in record-breaking heat. Greece recorded its earliest ever heatwave last week, as temperatures soared about 38C for more than three days running. It's a huge contrast to the weather in the UK, which has been "disappointingly cool" so far this month, Sky News meteorologist Steff Gaulter says.

Thailand's tried for years to solve its pollution problem, but 'haze season' always comes back
When the haze season comes, villagers in northern Thailand start preparing the land for fire. They set areas of forest alight, part of controlled burns that will clear their fields for planting — and before long large plumes of smoke rise up, adding to some of the worst air in the world. It's a practice that is unavoidable due to the mountainous terrain, which prevents harvesting machines from operating. During the haze season, from February to April, Chiang Mai city regularly tops the list of the world’s worst cities for air pollution. At nearby Chiang Mai university, an app called FireD has been developed to try to control burning. People register their planned fires through the app. It uses weather and satellite data to predict if a fire on a particular day will cause more pollution or whether conditions will blow away the smoke and pollutants.
