Footage has emerged from Palermo, Sicily that appears to shows the strange phenomenon of ultra-localised rain.

The video, shows people stopping to observe an apparent rain storm that is only taking place over a tiny area of road.

The bizarre incident has been covered in the Italian press recently, as another occurrence was also reported as happening in Palermo two-and-a-half years ago.

Strange phenomenon in Palermo. It seems like the 'nuvola di Fantozzi' really does exist! The weird storm that happened on Via Dante, Palermo, on Saturday, shows a heavy shower that suddenly came down, in one point of the road, like you can see in the video. The strange phenomenon left us, drivers and passers by without words. It was a crazy sight!
