Hailstones develop when the atmosphere is unstable and there's plenty of moisture. Hailstones form by being lifted up by powerful thunderstorm updrafts. If the hailstones get too heavy, they will fall from the sky at high speeds.

Although hail storms can happen anywhere on the planet, they are more common in the United States in the spring and summer months.
