Abstract: Hail causes great damage to the Kakheti region in Eastern Georgia. It partially or completely destroys agricultural crops: vineyards, orchards, annual and perennial crops. As a result, the country's economy suffers significant losses. The degree of damage largely depends on the diameter of the hailstone. The larger the diameter of the hailstone, the more damage the hail causes. Based on the materials of the anti-hail service for 2016-2019, which includes data received from a radar station on the diameter of hailstones in the clouds, the height of conception, the processed points and time was studied the distribution of hailstorm areas in the territory of Kakheti region. The results obtained will make it possible to analyze the climatic factors that cause damage to hailstorm areas, which will make a significant contribution to the development of methods for anti-hail work.
