The greatest number of hailstorms occur about a month later than the time of greatest rate of temperature increase in spring. The greatest number of thunderstorms is in June and the fewest in April. Although hail does not occur without a thunderstorm, but 7.2 per cent of all thunderstorms is accompanied by hail. The percentage is largest in April and least in August.
