Scientists conducted an international study and found out that the power of hail canincrease in some
The frequency of hailstorms is likely to decrease in East Asia and North America, while it will increase in Australia and Europe.At the same time, the power of hail itself will increase in most regions of the Earth.Researchers from the University of Bern, Central Michigan University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Illinois and Colorado State Universities, and Peking University participated in the review.
“We came to the conclusion that, overall The threat of hail may increase in Australia, particularly in south-east Australia, including the Sydney area, explains Tim Raupach, lead author and research fellow at the UNSW Sydney Climate Change Research Centre.
However, the researchers note that current andthe future impacts of climate change on hail remain uncertain, in part due to a lack of long-term observations and limited model studies.
The study examined how atmosphericcomponents influencing hail - unstable atmosphere, wind shear or variance and other indicators - will change with climate warming and affect hail.
