Hail suddenly fell in many places in Shanghai: the size of an egg. What problems will hail weather bring?

Hail is a kind of ice. First of all, it feels very cold. It is reasonable to say that hail should appear in places with cold weather in winter, but it is not. Most hail is common in summer weather. Recently, many places in Shanghai have been hit by hail in this strong convective weather. Many hailstones fall from the sky, some of which even resemble eggs. The impact of hail is also relatively large. Some local netizens photographed that the vehicles parked on the roadside were not transferred in time, but were directly destroyed by hail.

According to related news, the sudden hailstorm in many places in Shanghai is mainly due to the strong convective weather caused by thunderstorm clouds in Shanghai. As can be seen from the video circulating on the Internet, the hail fell with the heavy rain, not only hitting many vehicles, but also hitting some branches and leaves on the roadside. If you hit someone, the consequences will be even worse. It is conceivable that the destructive power brought by hail weather should not be underestimated.

Generally speaking, hail weather appears for a short time, but it is very violent, often accompanied by natural disasters such as storms. If the car happens to be parked outside when it hails, then the hail is likely to smash the glass of the car and even smash the body out of the hole. If people walk outdoors without proper shelter, once they are hit by hail more than 5 cm in the head, they are likely to be unconscious.

Not only that, hail has brought great influence to agriculture. Usually hail falls from the sky very quickly, so the impact is quite great. If hail with very large diameter hits vegetables, fruit trees or other crops, it will cause devastating blows and damage. Even if it is serious, it may lead to crop failure and bring huge economic losses to people. Therefore, preventive measures must be taken in time before the arrival of hail weather.
