Baseball-sized hailstones fall in Texas as southern US hit by severe storms
More than 300,000 people lose power as 5in hailstones strike central Texas and tornado warnings issued
www.theguardian.comHere’s the latest on hailstones I could gather.
- Overview: Hail-related severe weather remains a focus in several regions, with forecasts highlighting significant hail risk in parts of the U.S. Midwest and South, and advisories in other countries where hailstones have caused damage.[1][2]
- U.S. outlook: The central U.S. today is seeing elevated risk for large hail, with several outlooks indicating a high or moderate severe-weather risk in states from Texas through the Southeast, including potential for baseball-sized hail in some corridors.[2]
- International notes: Reports from India and surrounding regions continue to mention hail as part of monsoon-related or pre-monsoon weather events, with warnings of thunderstorms and hail in major cities.[1]
Illustration example:
- If you’re tracking potential impacts near London or the U.K., hail events there are less common than in continental Europe or North America, but rapid weather changes can cause hail during convective outbreaks. For ongoing updates, monitor local Met Office briefings and emergency alerts.
Would you like me to pull the most recent regional forecasts for your area (London, UK) and summarize any hail warnings or watches currently in effect? I can also provide a quick, plain-language forecast for the next 24–48 hours.
