Heat and hailstorms: PAGASA explains hailstorm in Benguet

MANILA -- High temperature during thunderstorms caused the production of hail in Benguet, state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday.

"Posible po 'yan kapag ka papasok na din po 'yong Mayo, madalas na po 'yan 'yong mga thunderstorms at 'pag sobrang init nagkakaroon ng hailstone 'yong thunderstorms," weather forecaster Samuel Duran told radio DZMM.

"'Yan po 'yong nagkakaroon ng hailstorm, malalakas na pagkidlat at malakas na pagbuhos ng ulan. Sobrang init tapos magkakaroon ka ng formation ng cloud then eventually po nagkakaroon ng mga thunderstorms," he added.
