I wonder even though hail is made from Ice. It is more likely to fall in the summer. This is because of how hail is formed hail is created when warm air brings water upwards in the air the water rises High into the atmosphere.
Once the water is up there. It gets very cold and freezes creating little drops of ice which then gets bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall as hail. In the early summer, the air is warmer. And so the updrafts caused by the warm air is stronger and the upper atmosphere is still cold enough to freeze water into hail. So early summer is the best time for it to hail.
