Abstract: Hail belongs to such a dangerous meteorological phenomenon that causes great damage to the economies of countries. Heavy hail is frequent in Georgia, in its eastern part. The region of Kakheti is particularly notable, where heavy hail causes millions of losses every year, especially in the agricultural sector. Therefore, it is important to determine the agricultural areas affected and the degree of damage caused. The data of 2016-2019 have been processed, which includes data on the total damaged areas of Kakheti region, including 100% damaged areas, as well as averaged data on the degree of damage in percentages and data on the types of damaged agrarian culture. The distribution of damaged areas and degree of damage in Kakheti region according to municipalities is shown. Areas with particularly high degree of damage and areas to be covered have been determined.
