Is it true that it won't hail unless the ground is above zero degrees Celsius?

Hail is generated by upper cloud wind driving frozen water particles up and through clouds. They gain a little more water, it gets frozen and when the wind can no longer carry it up it falls. The temperature on the ground doesn't effect this process much.


What are water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and become solid?

Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and become solid are called snowflakes.


In what places is hail most likely to form?

Hail is most likely to form in frozen tundra's and in places that have a big amount of precipitation (rain) for example, if there's a storm with a LOT of rain and the temperature is currently below freezing (33F) then hail is most likely to form there. if the temperature is a negative number like -15F then hail will become bigger and it can have a chance of destroying something


Which type of precipitation would likely be falling from cumulus clouds with a ground air temperature of 14C snow sleet rain or hail?

Rain would likely be falling from cumulus clouds with a ground air temperature of 14°C. Snow or sleet would occur at colder temperatures, while hail is associated with more intense thunderstorms.


What kind of precipitation forms when strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud?

When strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. As the ice crystals are carried up and down in the cloud, they encounter different temperature zones that cause them to grow larger. Eventually, the ice crystals become too heavy to be supported by the wind and fall to the ground as hail.

How can hail fall in New York City in the heat of summer if hail is ice and we don't even get snow unless the temperature is well below freezing?

The hail forms at roughly 25,000 feet high in a storm cloud where the temperature might be as low a -40F. Then it falls faster than it can melt.


When it rains it is called?

Depends on the air temperature, it could turn to sleet, snow or hail.

Snow, sleet, hail . . .


Can you predict hailstorms?

yes you can. the clouds are a different colour when it is about to snow and if the temperature is under about -3 it will hail.

Rain or hail.


Which type of precipitation is most likely to occur when the cloud and air temperature are above freezing?

hail


Is hail cold or hot?

Hail is typically cold because it forms in cold thunderstorm clouds where temperatures at high altitudes are below freezing. As hail falls to the ground, it may retain its cold temperature even if it melts slightly on the way down.
