Hail happens when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere where they freeze into ice. As the ice pellets fall back down, they can be carried back up by the updrafts multiple times, growing larger with each trip until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground as hailstones.
