Hail is found anywhere thunderstorms occur, especially severe storms. This would be most places in the mid-latitudes, especially continental locations. The tropics have lots of thunderstorms but not as many generate hail.
Some of the most frequent hail occurs in mountainous areas due to the orographic lift that allows updrafts to become stronger. It is very common and hail can be quite large in northern India and parts of China. Hailstorms can also occur frequently across much of Europe.
Spring and fall.
rain, snow, hail, lightning. most of this depends on where you live :)
Hail is unlikely to fall in winter due to colder temperatures not conducive to the formation of hailstorms.
Rain, hail, snow and sleet can fall in most deserts.
During a tornado, heavy rain and hail are the most likely types of precipitation that may fall. Tornadoes are often associated with severe thunderstorms that can produce intense rainfall and hail as the storm system intensifies.
sometimes it isn't cold enough for the hail to fall in it's ice form.
Ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snowflakes.
Hailstorms are most common in regions with strong thunderstorms, typically in the central United States, known as "Hail Alley." This area includes states like Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming, where conditions are favorable for the formation of large hailstones.
The heaviest hail on record (currently) is 132 grams.
Yes. Although it is relatively rare, Maine can get hail.
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
Hail can form in clouds over the ocean, but it typically melts before reaching the surface due to the warmer ocean temperatures. If hail does fall into the ocean, it quickly melts and blends with the water.
