Yesterday afternoon, malakas ang ulan at kasalukuyang nag-e-enjoy ako maligo sa ulan. Bigla ako tinamaan ng isang matigas na bagay at nakita ko ang maliliit na pellet ng yelo (Ice).
And according to the experts
The incident is however "normal" in the Philippines, Jun Galang of the Philippine Astronomical, Geophysical and Astronomic Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Hailstorms are caused by thunderstorms, Galang said, noting that cumulonimbus clouds are made up of ice particles.
What is Hail Storm definition?
- Hail is a form of precipitation that falls from the sky as pellets of ice. The pellets can range in size from small pea-sized pellets, to hailstones as large as grapefruits.
Formation: Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets, and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 °C (32 °F).[3] These types of strong updrafts can also indicate the presence of a tornado.[9] The growth rate is maximized where air is near a temperature of −13 °C (9 °F). - Wikipedia
