Wind-hail disaster refers to a natural disaster caused by strong convective weather such as hail, thunderstorm and tornado. Because this disastrous weather occurs in cumulonimbus clouds, it is called "convective storm" or "severe thunderstorm", and thunderstorms accompanied by severe hail are also called "hail storm".

Wind and hail disasters, also known as "storm disasters", mainly occur in subtropical and temperate regions, but the frequency and degree of harm vary from place to place. This kind of disaster is one of the natural disasters that often occur in monsoon climate areas such as China and the United States.

There are nearly 1 0,000 wind and hail disasters in China every year, with a minimum of 400 (1 0,977) and a maximum of 2 1 0,500 (1 0,987). Due to the wide range, high frequency and severity of local disasters, the cumulative losses caused by such disasters are relatively heavy, accounting for about 10% of the total annual losses of natural disasters in China.

Wind and hail disaster is a serious meteorological disaster caused by strong convective weather system. Although it appears in a small range and in a short time, it is fierce and strong, and is often accompanied by sudden disastrous weather processes such as strong winds, heavy precipitation and sharp cooling.
