Conditions and climatology
The severe thunderstorm season for Sydney is generally considered to be between the months of X and Y, with a peak in Z.Template:Rfact During this time, conditions along the east coast of Australia are highly conducive for the formation of hailstones within these severe thunderstorms. The variation of air temperature in the atmosphere with warm and humid air close to the ground and colder air above it causes instability, and the cold upper atmosphere temperatures allow the precipitation to fall in solid form as hailstones.[1]
