Hail climatology along the northeastern Adriatic
General awareness and overall interest regarding hailstorms and hail properties in Europe have increased significantly in the last several decades and have resulted in numerous local, national, and even Europe-wide studies on hail and hail properties. To contribute to this field, we determined the hail climatology in the northeastern (NE) Adriatic region and analyzed its spatial and temporal patterns and performed an objectively derived weather type analysis of ERA5 daily mean data and instability indices. We studied the NE Adriatic region due to its focus on agricultural activities and on quality wine production. Our results are based on approximately 60 years of high- spatial-resolution measurements collected from 27 stations across complex terrain. The results show (i) high levels of spatial variability, (ii) significant annual variations, and (iii) hail throughout the whole year that (iv) intensifies in summer months. Furthermore, redistribution of hail among seasons (in particular, from summer to spring) was detected. Most significant changes were visible in the June to October period, with a negative trend of -0.06 hail days/year, and the period from November to March exhibited a positive trend of 0.13 hail cases/year. We found that deep cyclonic systems in front of and above our domain were most responsible for hail generation, often supported by southwesterly winds. Additionally, the vast majority of observed hail events occurred in unstable and sheared environments.
