The British often say “it’s pouring down” when the rain is like sticks on the hill. In Florida, USA, animal precipitation is not just something out of the world of idioms, but very real, in the form of falling iguanas.
Florida residents, accustomed to warm and pleasant winters, have to endure lower temperatures this year. The same goes for cold-blooded lizards, who are paralyzed by the cold when the mercury slides below the four-degree mark (Celsius) and then falls from the trees where they live.
Iguanas do not die, but they cannot move until they rewarm. During the cold winter of 2018, Floridians attempted to warm the lizards with blankets or carry them to their cars to help them defrost them, something authorities strongly advise against as they can become aggressive when they regain mobility.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a somewhat curious forecast for the Christmas weekend.
“Temperatures around zero, with risk of iguanas falling,” his Miami office tweeted.
