In order to clarify the characteristics of hail in Qiannan Prefecture, using Doppler weather radar data, conventional meteorological observations, and hail observations at weather modification operation spots from 2006 to 2022, we analyze the characteristics of hail diameter, hail duration, daily variation of hail, and hail cloud moving speed affecting individual hail cases in Qiannan Prefecture by statistical methods. The results show that hail weather in Qiannan Prefecture mainly appears in March and April, the hailstones are mostly in moderate sizes, and the diurnal variation of hail is obvious. Hail mainly occurs from 15:00 to 00:00 the next day, most frequently seen from 17:00 to 20:00. The life duration of hail is short, 65% of which lasts less than 5 min. The moving speed of hail cloud cells is 16-102 km·h-1, with an average speed of 50 km·h-1. The minimum maintenance time of hail cloud cells is only 17 min, but the longest can reach 290 min, with an average of 122 min. The main path of hail cloud movement is the southwest path, followed by the northwest and westward paths. The hail spots along the southwest path are mainly distributed in the central line of Qiannan Prefecture, while the hail spots along the northwest path are mainly in Huishui and Changshun in the central and western parts of Qiannan Prefecture. The hail spots along the western path are mainly in the central and northern parts of Qiannan Prefecture. The hail cloud sources affecting Qiannan Prefecture are found mainly in Anshun City, Qiannan Prefecture, eastern and northern Qianxinan Prefecture, eastern and southern Bijie City and southern Guiyang City. The hail cloud sources along different paths have obvious differences in distribution. These findings can enhance our awareness of the hail characteristics in Qiannan Prefecture.
