It’s the one frozen precipitation that can occur in the middle of a summer heatwave: Hail.1. They’re a hallmark of strong thunderstorms
Hail requires strong updrafts commonly found in the middle of thunderstorm clouds to form. Those upward winds continuously blow raindrops to the frozen upper reaches of a thunderstorm, where it will turn into a hailstone. It will then begin to fall, collecting new raindrops on the way down until it reencounters those updrafts, and it’ll blow skyward, freezing this newly acquired water into another layer of ice.The process will repeat, and the hailstone will continue to grow in size until it is heavier than the updraft can support, then it will fall to the ground.
