Experts from the Bureau of Meteorology have released new information on the large hail phenomenon affecting parts of Queensland recently, after a record breaking Mango sized hail stone was found North of Mackay
Dr Joshua Soderholm says that hail storms are most common at this time of the year as surface temperatures increase, but strong winds and cooler temperatures in the upper atmosphere are needed to foster hail growth.
The Bureau is encouraging Queenslanders to prepare for storm season to get worse, as hail becomes a possibility for parts of the country.
