The hailstorm was found in Azzano Decimo less than a week after the previous European record was set. On July 19th, a hailstone with a diameter of 16 cm was discovered in the village of Carmignano di Brenta, but it held the record for only five days.
The massive hailstorm fell in Azzano Decimo on July 24th, 2023, at approximately 23:00. After a thorough analysis of reports and photographs, experts from the ESWD concluded that the diameter of this record-breaking hailstone was indeed 19 cm.
This measurement is very close to the world record for hail, which was set in Vivian, South Dakota, on July 23rd, 2010, when a hailstone with a diameter of 20.3 cm was found.
