Spring weather is fickle with an
unstable atmosphere. In some areas, such as Busan, hail as large as 1cm rained down. Panicked citizens filmed the scene themselves and sent us a lot.
KNN reporter Gil Jae-seop reports.

Hail suddenly began to fall around 2 p.m. on a holiday.
Near Sanseong Village in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, hail as large as 1 cm thick fell for nearly 30 minutes.
The occasional rain had turned into hail in overcast weather.
Hail also fell in the city center, mainly in Dongnae-gu, Geumjeong-gu, and Yeonje-gu.
The hail that rained down on the parked cars with a loud noise quickly began to pile up.
Hail also fell on residential areas, and the area around the house turned white for a moment, as if it had fallen snow.

Many citizens were taken aback by the sudden hailstorm.
[Ko Hyun-kyu/Video Informant: I couldn't get out of the car, and I was just worried about what to do when I reached my destination.
The sudden hail in mid-April appears to be caused by atmospheric instability and temperature differences in the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere.
[Jeon Kyung-ok/Busan Meteorological Agency forecaster: Hail fell on parts of Busan, Gyeongnam, and Ulsan due to atmospheric instability as the upper level cold air turned strongly.]
No major damage from this hail was reported.
