Common questions
When is hail season?
Nationally, recorded hail concentrates in spring and early summer — roughly March through June, peaking in May — because that's when strong surface heating meets cold air aloft. But the shape varies a lot by county: pick yours above to see its own profile from the NOAA record.
Why does my county's chart peak earlier or later than the national one?
Geography. Gulf-adjacent counties see storms earlier in spring; the High Plains peak in late May and June; mountain and northern counties push into July. The chart is your county's own recorded history, not a national average.
Does a quiet month mean no hail risk?
No — it means few recorded events in that month since 1950. Out-of-season hail happens, and reporting gaps exist. Use the profile for planning context (roofing season, inspection timing), not as a guarantee.
