I WONDER - When Does Hail Fall?

Hail is more likely to occur in the early summer due to the combination of warm air and cold upper atmosphere. The process begins when warm air lifts water into the atmosphere, where it freezes into ice. These ice particles grow larger until they are heavy enough to fall as hail. Early summer provides the ideal conditions for this process, with strong updrafts and a cold upper atmosphere.

What happens to water once it rises high into the atmosphere?
