Why is hail more common summer than in winter?

Answer 1

hail starts out as rain that us caught in an updraft and frozen. it then falls back through the wet zone and collects more water and is uplifted again and frozen. This process is repeated untill the hail is to heavy for the updraft. This is why if you break a hail stone in half you will see rings. For the process to start it has to warm enough for rain. In the winter it is often too cold so you just get snow and the strong updrafts needed to for hail are much less common.

Answer 2

Hail is the end result of a process of thawing and freezing, thawing and freezing, and a cross-section of hail would look somewhat like an onion, with layers upon layers. This results from a pattern of water droplets being lifted to heights that are cold enough to freeze it, then dropping down to where it will collect more moisture, and then again being uplifted to altitudes where it will freeze again, and the whole process repeated. When it falls to earth, the cycle has ended, and the hail is no longer lifted higher, but is allowed to drop to the ground.

Answer 3

The tremendous up draft carries the moisture very high where it freezes until it gets too heave for the up draft to hold ,then it will fall. U don't have the huge up draft in the winter.
