Hail database
« on: 20 March 2007, 01:34:50 PM »
Hi,

I was wondering if there is any sort of database that tracks hails storms around australia, measuring hail damage and location.

Thanks
Sam

The BoM has databases from their state-based storm spotter networks but there is no central real-time tracking of events. Hail which meets the severe category (2cm diameter or larger) is reported in the significant monthly weather summaries:
