Abstract

This study describes unusual winter hailstorm occurring over New Delhi, India. Cold and dry conditions during winter are not conducive for generating a hailstorm, thus making them a rare meteorological occurrence. This study uses numerical simulation to understand the dynamics of a winter-time hailstorm occurrence. The cause of a hailstorm during winter is attributed to low level convective available potential energy and moisture incursion that causes rising of air till the midtropospheric level and then further rising takes place due to the western disturbance in the midtroposphere causing baroclinic instability.
