Hailstorm in Lahore

The hailstorm that struck Lahore on February 26, 2011 was considered to be the heaviest in the recent times . People called this a change in climate. It was a pleasant change to some other. The city was giving the scene of

snowfall that evening. The hailstorm struck the city around 4.45 pm and continued for half an hour.

“The plains of Punjab do receive hailstones in this part of winter because of differences in ground and

air temperature. But this one was rare,” a meteorologist gave his description on that evening.

The warning for hail-producing thunderstorms can be created by using weather satellites and weather radar imagery. Hail stones generally fall at higher

speeds as they grow in size.
