Why hail fall in Jamaica?

Hail in Jamaica is relatively rare due to the country's tropical climate, which typically features warm temperatures and high humidity. However, hail can occur during strong thunderstorms when there is intense updraft that carries moisture high into the atmosphere, where it freezes and falls to the ground as hailstones. These conditions are more likely during the rainy season, particularly when cold fronts or unstable weather systems interact with the warm, moist air.
