Recent studies have revealed a concerning trend in Wisconsin: the increasing frequency of storms producing golf ball-sized hail, which is being linked to climate change. Research from Northern Illinois University indicates that warmer temperatures lead to increased water vapor in the atmosphere, energizing thunderstorms and contributing to the formation of larger hailstones. This phenomenon was observed in Wisconsin on April 14, with widespread reports of large hail. The formation of hail involves strong updrafts pushing water droplets into colder atmospheric layers, where they freeze and grow. As these hailstones become too heavy, they fall to the ground.
