Hail may fall in spring, summer and autumn.

Hail disasters in China mostly occur in spring, summer and autumn. Compared with the summer with strong convection, the frequency and intensity of hail disasters in spring are higher. On the one hand, cold and warm weather meet frequently in spring, and the convection is strong; In addition, the height of 0℃ layer is high in midsummer, and ice crystal particles may melt before landing. In most parts of China, 70% hail time is concentrated in 13- 19, and the most is between 14- 16.
