Hail in the Summer?

For some reason in my game it never hails in the winter,but it does in the summer O_O. Has this happened to anyone? :confused:

I get hail in spring and summer. Not seen it in winter yet myself... perhaps because hail is more associated with thunderstorms than snowstorms...

Not seen it in winter yet myself... perhaps because hail is more associated with thunderstorms than snowstorms...Hmm..I see...I always thought of it as due to really cold weather,and how it says in the "see hail"fear my sims have, it says "you are more likely to see hail in the winter"...=/

Um isn't hail supposed to occur mostly in the summer anyway? Hail doesn't really occur in the winter because the atmosphere isn't unstable. I mean in a sense hail is frozen rain. But hail is really when the upper atmosphere is cold and the lower atmosphere is hot and sublimation occurs. Agh I can't remember.

I have NEVER seen hail in the summer in real life. I HAVE seen it in winter and fall. If that is true,I guess the game makers made that info wrong...

:shrug: who knows there are usually hail falls during the summer months over here in Massachusetts. (well at least the game has had a new feel for almost a year. can you believe that sims have had seasons in almost a year?!)

Granted, we hardly get thunderstorms at all here in Oregon, but I have almost never seen hail outside of Spring/Summer. Winter is more likely to see freezing rain or sleet than hail (hmm, I just realized there's no freezing rain in the Sims, we get that more than snow here).
