<![CDATA[A hail phenomenon occurred in Malang, Sumbermanjing Wetan District (8°6’S and 112°24’E) on March 2, 2021. According to the Regional National Disaster Management Agency, it was accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds, which caused several trees to fall, resulting in damage to people's houses (BNPBD, 2021). Hail is precipitation in the form of ice, usually an irregular round shape produced by cumulonimbus convective clouds (AMS, 2019). The research was conducted by examining global, regional, and local weather factors and analysing the cloud characteristics from satellite image data during hail events. Based on the analysis, it was found that ENSO, sea surface temperature anomalies, and MJO had no effect on the incidence of the hail. The streamline map showed the presence of shearlines and tropical cyclones around the Malang area, and the temperature significantly decrease from 07.00 UTC to 08.00 UTC of 4.4°C and from 08.00 UTC to 09.00 UTC of 3.6°C with significant increase in humidity from 07.00 UTC to 08.00 UTC of 10%. The cloud top temperature was analysed to be at the ripe stage at 07.40 UTC and 8.40 UTC, at -68.2°C.]]>
