High frequency of hail in northern Italy
The high frequency of hailstones in northern Italy is consistent with ESSL research, according to which this region has seen the greatest increase in large hailstones compared to other European regions in recent decades.
O The formation of hail is closely linked to the formation of thunderstorms.. Ice forms in virtually all large storm clouds, but most of the time the structures are so small that they melt on the way and just fall from the sky as thick raindrops. Only in a minority of storm clouds do they grow so large that they hit the ground like ice.
