Hail forms in thunderstorms when strong updrafts carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere, where they freeze into ice pellets. These pellets grow larger as they are carried up and down by the updrafts, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hailstones.

Is hail included as a element of a thunder storm?

Yes. Hail occurs in thunderstorms, though not all thunderstorms.


Where can hail be found?

Hail is found anywhere thunderstorms occur, especially severe storms. This would be most places in the mid-latitudes, especially continental locations. The tropics have lots of thunderstorms but not as many generate hail.


What weather accompanies hail?

Hail is typically associated with severe thunderstorms that have strong updrafts, which can carry raindrops high into the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. Hail often falls during intense storms that also produce heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning.


Does hail fall in trinidad?

Hail is rare in Trinidad due to its tropical climate. However, it can occur during severe thunderstorms or unusual weather patterns.


What is water drops that freeze in layers around small nuclei device during thunderstorms?

It is known as hail.


Is precipitation associated with tornadoes?

Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms that produce rain and often hail.


Can a blizzard produce hail?

No, blizzards do not produce hail. Blizzards are severe snowstorms characterized by strong winds and blowing snow, whereas hail is formed in thunderstorms when updrafts carry raindrops into cold upper atmospheres where they freeze into ice pellets.


When does hail typically fall?

Hail typically falls during thunderstorms when strong updrafts carry raindrops into colder regions of the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets.


What do hail and tornadoes have in common?

They both are formed in strong thunderstorms. Both hail and tornadoes are forms of severe weather that originate from thunderstorms, most often an especially powerful class of thunderstorms called supercells. It is fairly common for hail to accompany tornadoes. If any thunderstorm produces hail at least 1 inch in diameter, winds of 58 mph or greater, or a tornado it is classified as severe.


What weather event creates hail?

Hail is created during severe thunderstorms when updrafts carry water droplets to the upper atmosphere where they freeze into ice. The ice pellets continue to grow as they are circulated within the storm cloud, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail.


Why does it hail on summer days?

Hail during summer days happens when strong thunderstorms develop, with powerful updrafts that carry raindrops into extremely cold regions of the atmosphere where they freeze and form hailstones. These hailstones can then fall to the ground during the storm.


Can it hail in Africa?

yes.. indeed it can. hail is produced by very strong thunderstorms..
