Hail forms in the upper atmosphere where the temperatures may be quite different from the temperatures on the ground. In fact a very warm day can mean that warm and humid air may rise quickly into a mass of very cold air above causing a rapid freezing of the moisture which then falls to the ground a hail.

This is quite right.

I used to live in Texas and we often had hailstones hitting the car on a hot day.

In fact you can take out hailstone damage for your car insurance and there have been many claims on hot days!

Also, no the hailstones do not melt and turn back to liquid before hitting the ground (at least not always).
