Hail is cold because it is ice. More specifically, hail originates very high in the atmosphere, where it is always very cold. When a hailstone is large enough it falls back to the ground fast enough that it does not have time to warm back up.

∙ 9y agoThe atmospheric temperature falls after a hail storm. This is because of the fact that hail is ice. When the hail reaches the Earth's surface, the ice melts. This in turn, cools the air.
