Hail happens in areas with many cumulonimbus clouds, or an area where thunderstorms or tornadoes are most likely to happen. Hail forms in clouds, and the more water the cloud has absorbed, the bigger the hail pellets are going to be.

I personally heard/learned that it happens exactly where rain happens. It happens in the clouds, when rain or water droplets are frozen and they turn into ice/hail. I think it can also happen when the rain is in the process of falling out of the clouds and the air is really really cold by the clouds and so it turns into hail/ice.

Hi,

Hail like other forms of pricipitation forms when evaporation happens. Clouds are formed and they get so heavy that pricipitation falls to Earth. This is called the water cycle.

Why does it hail when there's no tornado outside?

Tornadoes themselves are not the cause of hail, thunderstorms are. In order to produce hail a storm must have a strong updraft to keep hailstones in the air as they form and a fairly large amount of turbulence to create the cycle that forms hail. Tornadoes also need a strong updraft to form but also need other factors such as rotation in the storm to form, but this rotation isn't needed for hail.
