Hail
- Hail is a form of precipitation made up of frozen rain droplets which range between 5-50mm in diameter. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is known as a hailstone.
- Hail forms when a thunderstorm updraft lifts a water droplet above the freezing level in the atmosphere. Frozen water droplets coalesce to form heavy hailstone that fall as precipitations due to their weight.
- Hails injure people, crops, plants, animals and property
