▲ Hailstones that fell in the Beowon-eup area of Paju
Around 4:00 p.m. yesterday (June 14), hailstones approximately 1cm in diameter fell across the Beowon-eup area of Paju, Gyeonggi Province.
An official from the Seoul Regional Office of Meteorology stated, "As the atmosphere became unstable, our radar detected hail falling in the southern part of Paju."
It has been confirmed that no reports of damage related to the hail have been filed with the Paju City Hall.
Hail is formed when ice crystals clump together during periods of atmospheric instability.
The southern region of Paju also experienced strong winds and heavy rain on the same day, leading to a temporary heavy rain advisory that was lifted after 45 minutes.
