Abstract

The new hypothesis about the building mechanism of hail showers is made under atmosphere conditions. It is suggested, contrary to other famous theories that hail showers building is stipulated by the generation of high temperature in lightning strike in atmosphere. Quick water evaporation along and around the discharge channel leads to its rough freezing with the advent of hail showers of different sizes. The transition of zero-degree isotherm is not necessary for the building of hail showers; they are formed in the lower atmosphere. Storm is accompanied by hail showers. Hailstorm is observed only in case of severe thunderstorm. In contrast to the previous well-known theory of hail showers, in this paper we propose an original and simple method to prevent hail with the use of a lightning rod. Lightning rod in turn, can prevent together with hail and lightning discharge.
