Those days carry 60 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2026, with 5 hail days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 13 days since 2022, against 1.3 a year before that.
4 of the 29 days reached 2 inches or more -- 14%, or about one hail day in 7, the last on 2024-05-22. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not April. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 15 of 29 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
