No. In fact hail forms best when it is warm. No matter how warm the weather is at the ground, it will always be well below freezing in the upper troposphere. Hail is a phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms with strong updrafts, which form best when air near the ground is warm and moist.
Sleet, which is sometimes confused with hail, does require cold temperatures around freezing.
