NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 20 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.2 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 42 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 4 of the 20 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 4 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 20 days on record passed it, 5%, the last on 2012-06-15. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not May.

How to read the Miami-Dade County map
The colored swath is NOAA's MRMS radar estimate of the largest hail per ~1 km cell; the dots are SPC ground reports. Deep violet is about an inch, the violet grows lighter as the hail grows, and pale lilac to near-white is 2″ and up (hail size vs roof damage). On this county's worst day the reports reached 3 inches, which is the pale lilac band. Look up a street address with the hail history by address tool.
