Is it normal to hail in March?

Hail in March is a normal strong convective weather phenomenon, and there is no difference between good and bad.

From March to 10 every year is a hail-prone period. Generally, the hail lasts only a few minutes, and some last for more than ten minutes. Generally speaking, in the same area, some years happen many times in succession, and some years happen several times or even don't happen. Hail lasts for a short time, a storm or hail usually lasts only 2 ~ 10 minutes, and a few last more than 30 minutes.

Hail is significantly affected by terrain, and the more complex the terrain, the easier it is to happen. However, it is local, and the impact range of each hail is generally tens of meters to thousands of meters wide and hundreds of meters to more than ten kilometers long. The occurrence area is wide, and it can occur in a wide range of climatic zones from subtropical zone to temperate zone, but the frequency of occurrence is mostly in temperate zone.

Impact on farmers

Such extremely low temperature hail weather is disastrous for farmers, and crops are seriously damaged. Low temperature is a great challenge to crops. On March 3rd, many places have the custom of eating local dishes and boiling eggs, which is very popular in Hubei. On this day, every household will cook local dishes and eggs. However, in our local area, there was extreme weather with strong wind, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and it suddenly became like night. Such heavy precipitation is rare, and floods can be seen everywhere.

Many friends from other places have said that hail, what a big white hail, whitened the underground. Such hail will destroy the greenhouse, discount the seedlings in the field, destroy all the rape flowers and affect the pod setting of rape. Hail is a disastrous climate, which will bring local low-temperature weather such as cooling, and the temperature will drop rapidly, which will damage the growth of planting industry. Now is the tillering and jointing stage of wheat, and wheat discount will seriously reduce production.
