The data behind the analysis

Data sources for our analyses

Radar, weather models and supporting evidence from traceable sources. HailSignal analyses these data – each alert identifies its sources.

More data sources and their role

National weather services via MeteoAlarm

Warnings come from the respective national weather services. Their origin is retained with the evidence.

Radar sources under evaluation

These sources are used for observation and calibration. They do not currently generate customer alerts on their own.

Reference and geographic data

UCAR/ICECHIP provides ground references for separate comparisons. Maps, place names, time zones and warning boundaries use additional datasets; their attribution appears on the map and in the legal notice.

The providers supply source data. HailSignal produces the analyses and assessments.

Where is the storm heading?

Location and direction at a glance.

Illustrative US example, schematic route — not an actual storm report. Size and track are estimates. C2 does not confirm vehicle damage or repair opportunities.

How alerts are created

Understanding an alert

Confidence, made clear.

Estimated hail size and confidence are assessed separately. So you can put each alert into context.

How large is the hail?

Class 2
0.8–1.1 in

Dents possible.

Class 3
1.2–1.7 in

Elevated damage potential.

Class 4
1.8 in and above

High damage potential.

How sure are we?

C1
Possible

An initial radar signal, not yet confirmed.

C2
Likely

Matching radar products or a second, independent piece of evidence.

C3
Very likely

With a ground observation; in Germany, two independent WarnWetter app reports.

C4
Confirmed

Four independent confirmations on site.

Large hail does not automatically mean high confidence. Downgrades are reported too.
