UQ HailNet aims to establish a long-term, scientifically robust hail monitoring system across South-East Queensland and the Darling Downs. This webinar will provide an educational platform for farmers, industry, extension staff, weather risk researchers to learn about the impacts of hail and convective storms experienced in urban and regional areas.

Hailstorms regularly cause loss and damage to buildings, infrastructure, crops and communities throughout Queensland. Buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure are vulnerable to damage from large hail. Regional locations and agricultural crops especially can be vulnerable to damage from intense storms producing small sized hailstones.

Learn about building Queensland’s first automated network of hail and wind monitoring stations to better understand and manage the impact of severe weather on communities, infrastructure, and agriculture.

This collaboration between The University of Queensland (UQ), the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), and the Queensland Farmers Federation (QFF) is funded through the Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund (QRRRF) administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA).
