Study co-author John Allen, a meteorology professor at Central Michigan University, is concerned "because we’re not really building our environment to be resilient to hail."

Mid- and high-latitude regions could face large increases in hail damage, but the subtropics and tropics might see a reduction.

Hailstone trajectory simulations conducted under historical and future scenarios show a shift towards larger hailstones, resulting in global hailstorm-induced damage potential…
