What are the hazards of hail?

The harm of hail is as hard as ice. If the hail falls too much, it may cause harm to crops, buildings and even people.

According to relevant statistics, the economic losses caused by hail in China reach hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan every year. Since 1980s, with the extensive application of advanced equipment such as meteorological radar, satellite cloud image reception, computer and communication transmission, and various numerical forecasting models in meteorological operations, the ability of tracking, monitoring and forecasting hail activities has been greatly improved.

Extended data:

Hail is a disastrous weather that harms agricultural production in spring and summer. When hail occurs, it is often accompanied by strong winds, severe cooling and strong lightning. A hail attack, light yield reduction, heavy refusal to harvest. According to the weather map, satellite cloud image analysis and radar monitoring, meteorological stations can make forecasts in advance, but the accuracy is still not ideal. After long-term observation and practice, people have summed up some common experiences in forecasting hail.
