The previous record of 16cm in Carmignano di Brenta from 19\nJuly lasted for only five days. On 24 July 2023 at about 11 PM in the evening,\ngiant hail hit the town of Azzano Decimo, where the record breaking hailstone\nwas found. After a thourough examination of the reports and photos, the\nspecialists of the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD)<\/strong> came to the\nconclusion, that the diamter of this hailstone can be confirmed as 19 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new hailstone comes very close to the world record<\/strong>\nof a hailstone from 23 July 2010 in Vivian, South Dakota, with a diameter of 8\ninches (20.3 cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high frequence of hail in Northern Italy is consistent\nwith research results of the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL),<\/strong>\nshowing, that this region has experienced the largest increase in the frequency\nof large hail, compared to other European regions in the past decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
