Hail is defined as balls of irregular lumps of ice called a ‘hailstone’. Ice pellets are usually found in cold weather. Hail and ice pellets are both damaging to the exterior of a car. Hail can measure between .2” and 6” in diameter. Also, hail is usually accompanied by strong upward air motions paired with a thunderstorm or tornado with lowered heights of the freezing level. Hailstones will fall at faster speeds as they grow. Reports have put the speed of falling hail at 120 mph. Furthermore, hail damage affects homes, buildings, crops, and of course, cars.
