of a 2018 hailstone saved in Córdoba, Argentina, at up to 9.3 inches. It was never directly measured, though.The storms came after a record-hot air mass that languished over Europe much of last week. Sardinia, Italy, soared to 118.4 degrees on Monday, provisionally tying the record for hottest temperature observed in Europe during the month of July. The hot, humid air contained extreme instability, or fuel, to foster the development of strong to severe thunderstorms.
At the upper levels, a pocket of high-altitude cold air, low pressure and spin, all nestled within a dip in the jet stream, swept overhead. That cold air encouraged pockets of surface air to rise and form storms. It also lent support for the production of giant hail. Jet stream winds, meanwhile, bolstered wind shear, or a change of wind speed and/or direction with height. It’s no surprise that storms began to rotate. The jet stream momentum also manifested in damaging straight-line gusts that mixed into storms at ground level.
