So we all know that Mother Nature unleashed her force yesterday, with an unexpected storm but there has also been news buzzing around about frozen rain aka hail.
The last time we experienced hail was in 2013, where pellets of frozen rain fell upon us and we were blessed with this iconic footage that will never get old:
For those who are wondering how does hail occur
According to NEA: “Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 °C.”
Basically, if the wind is strong enough to carry the water droplets above the freezing level, the water freezes and ta-dah—you get frozen rain!
Hail sightings
If you have missed this rare phenomenon, there is a slew of videos posted by netizens.
Thankfully, FB user Mygolf Sg uploaded a video of hailstones dropping at Seletar Golf Club.

Thoughts
Hail might not be something new in Singapore, but I can’t help but wonder if it is related to Global Warming, since we experienced “winter” just a few weeks back.
But amidst all this, I really want this woman to make a comeback:
