Understanding Hail in Canada: Weatherlogics Leads the Way

Canada is known for its extreme weather, and hailstorms are a significant part of that story. At Weatherlogics, we have positioned ourselves as leaders in collecting and analyzing data on these damaging storms. Our daily data collection serves as the foundation for creating detailed hail maps, offering invaluable insights to our clients. Each day we make hailstorm footprint maps showing any hail activity from the previous day. This includes recent catastrophic hail storms like Calgary on August 5, 2024 and Winnipeg on August 24, 2023.

Example of Our Work: On August 24, 2023, a severe hailstorm struck the north side of Winnipeg, Manitoba, causing widespread property damage. Our team at Weatherlogics quickly produced a comprehensive hail map for this event, highlighting the affected areas and the extent of the damage.

How Our Data Helps: Using our extensive hail data, clients can:

  • Identify Damage Zones: Quickly pinpoint areas where hail has caused significant losses to crops, vehicles, homes, and other properties.
  • Detect Fraudulent Claims: Identify and prevent fraudulent hail damage claims with accurate data.
  • Inform Rate Calculations: Monitor hailstorm activity to make informed decisions about insurance rate calculations.
  • Streamline Adjusting Processes: Enhance the efficiency of the claims adjusting process with precise, ground-truth data.

Trends and Insights: Our ground-truth hail data spans many years, revealing interesting trends. In 2023, Ontario and Manitoba experienced a notable increase in hail activity, while Saskatchewan saw a decrease. Alberta, known for leading the country in hailstorms, continued this trend in 2023.
