A hailstorm is a weather event characterized by the formation of ice pellets, known as hail, that fall from cumulonimbus clouds. These pellets can vary in size, ranging from small pea-sized pieces to larger golf ball-sized chunks. Hailstorms typically occur during severe thunderstorms when strong updrafts carry moisture high into the atmosphere, where it freezes and falls to the ground. Hail can cause significant damage to property, vehicles, and crops. The impact of hail can lead to costly repairs and economic losses, particularly in agricultural areas. Understanding hailstorm formation and its potential effects is important for weather forecasting and disaster preparedness.
