After the hail
Plan emergency glazing
The alert shows where the hail fell and which class the radar estimates. Thin glass, polycarbonate and aluminium suffer from about 0.8 in (20 mm).
Glass, facades & shading
Conservatories, skylights and awnings suffer from hail that roof tiles still withstand.
HailSignal reports hail from class 2 with location, track and direction. You know where emergency glazing and appointments should go first.

Honest limits
- Germany without hail size The German Weather Service hail flag says “hail possible” or “large hail possible”, but gives no millimetres.
- Switzerland from April to September Swiss hail radar: 1 April to 30 September. Outside this season, this source provides no current hail estimates. Germany (DWD) and the US radar feed are not affected.
- Arrival hint without guarantee It only appears when the track is heading for your base and is stable enough. Cells turn, collapse or form anew.
- No damage confirmation on site Radar is an indication, not proof. Only an inspection on site shows whether something is damaged.
- Coverage Germany, Switzerland with border areas and the contiguous United States. Alerts start at class 2, from 0.8 in (20 mm).
