Hail is a meteorological phenomenon that involves the formation of small balls of solid ice falling from the sky during a storm. It occurs when water droplets in clouds freeze upon contact with dust particles or ice nuclei.
These frozen droplets are carried up and down by air currents within the cloud, accumulating more layers of ice as they pass through freezing and melting zones.
Eventually, hail falls to the ground when it can no longer be sustained by upward currents. The size of hailstones can vary from small pellets to large stones, causing damage to crops, vehicles, and structures.
