As small sized hailstones get lower in the weather system, they may be driven back upwards by the wind, and are enlarged by being added to by further ice. Eventually, they will fall to earth, and may cause damage due to their larger size.
One can avoid hail damage to one's car by parking it in a garage. Hail stones are usually small but can be as large as a golf ball or even larger. In areas prone to large hail stones, roofs are usually covered with materials that do not shatter, which avoids a lot of expensive damage.
Hail stones form in clouds through a process of ice crystal growth and water droplet accretion. Updrafts in the cloud carry the hail stones to higher altitudes where they can grow larger before eventually becoming too heavy and falling to the ground as hail.
No, hail generally only occurs in the summer.
wind dosent have anything to do with hail storms it just moves it around ...
Depending on the temperature and other conditions, it could be rain, snow or hail. But if the question is about what falls from cumulonimbus that most likely wouldn't fall from other cloud formations, then the answer would be hail. It's the vertical activity that gives the cumulonimbus cloud its distinctive shape, and it's the vertical activity that forms hail...especially large hail stones.
