Abstract

On 17 April 1962 at 1520. IST, a hailstorm occurred over Gauhati Airport. Radar. scope pictures showed four strong echoes in a straight line moving towards the station from the west with different speeds. The nearest echo was overtaken by other three very near the station, and they merged into a single cell, showing a small blunt protuberance ill the rear. After a few minutes it developed into a hook as hailstorm broke over the station.
