The temporal and spatial variation of hail in Tonghua was analyzed in the paper using the meteorological observation data of hail from 1981 to 2017. The results showed that the number of hail has been decreasing gradually, but the maximum hail has the tendency to jump. The strength reached heavy hail, but mainly light hail. Hail usually occurred only from April to October, mainly from May to June, which was the heaviest hail season. It was mainly produced from around noon to early evening, that is, between 11:00 and 18:00, and especially between 13:00 and 16:00, which was consistent with the time period of strong hail. The frequency of hail in north area was higher than that in south area, and the hail mostly occurred at one station. Under the cold-vortex weather influence, the hail could occur in one station for days, or occurred in several stations successively. The anti-hail work in Tonghua should not be neglected, and the defense work should base on the changing rules and characteristics of time and season, as to make the anti-hail work accurate and efficient.
