Questions this page is asked
Did it hail near me this year?
Choose a state and a city and the page counts the days with a hail report on the public record within the page radius of the city, from 1 January to today and over the trailing 365 days, and names the last day it hailed with its largest figure. A street address is the report's question, not this page's.
What counts as a hail day?
A calendar date with at least one hail report within the radius. Four sources describing one afternoon are one day, not four. A size measured by a person or an instrument is kept apart from one detected by radar, and the two are never added together.
How does this year compare with a normal year?
Against the city's own mean: the hail days in the prior years the record reaches, divided by those years. The year in progress is never part of its own baseline, and the earlier years may be covered by fewer settled feeds than the present one, so the mean is a floor on what the record holds rather than a climatology.
Can I put the hail day count on my own site?
Yes. Scope the page to a city and it hands out an embed snippet: a small live counter of ours in a frame, with the same compiled figures as this page, and a plain text link back to the city's hail history.
A count of days is context. A claim is an address.
Everything above is the shape of the year so far. None of it says what reached one roof.
Run the address and the same archive is searched at the property, the location-scoped kinds are fetched for it, and the result is a document that states which sources answered, including the ones that found nothing. Ready in minutes.
How this page is made
- What counted
- Every hail report in the archive with a point anywhere in the country, whichever source filed it, from 1 January to today. A hail day is a calendar date with at least one report: four sources describing one storm are one afternoon of hail, not four.
- Measured and detected
- A report from a person or an instrument is measured. A radar-derived size is a detection and is marked as one, here and in every document we issue. The two are never added together.
- Severe
- A day counts as severe when its largest report reached 1.00″, the National Weather Service criterion. Smaller hail is still on the record, and still on this page.
- What this is not
- A count of the national archive, not a finding about any place or property. Nothing here says a property was damaged or that a claim should be made.
- Terms used on this page
- Storm day, independent source, measured and detected: each term this page uses is defined in the glossary as the report prints it.
- The record
- Searched from 1996 to today. Compiled 28 August 2026 and rebuilt hourly as the archive deepens. Records are reproduced as the federal sources published them. The coverage page states what the record holds, by kind and by year.
About this record
Everything here is reproduced from public federal and volunteer weather records, as the agencies and observer networks that publish them released it. Titan Weather compiles the record; it does not observe the weather, and it is not affiliated with any source it cites.
No archive holds everything. Storms cross places where nobody is standing, instruments and observers cover some areas better than others, sources revise their records, and recent reports can take weeks to arrive and settle. Coverage also thins as the years go back: an early quiet stretch may describe who was watching rather than what the weather did. Where this page shows nothing, nothing was found in the sources searched, within the period and area it states. That is not a finding that no weather occurred.
A record sits where its source filed it. Reports made from the ground are commonly logged against a town, a landmark or an offset from one rather than the spot where the measurement was taken, so any distance shown for one carries that source's own location error. Radar detections and warning geometry are instrument-located and do not.
These pages describe the public record near a place or on a date. They do not establish what reached any particular property, and nothing here is insurance, legal or engineering advice.
