Fishers hail storm history
Hamilton County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Fishers, located in Hamilton County, has experienced 3 documented hail events of 1 inch or larger over the past 10 years, with an average frequency of 0.3 events annually. The city sits at the intersection of storm tracks from both the Ohio Valley and Great Plains, making it susceptible to spring hail production when these systems combine.
Hail in Fishers occurs most frequently from April through June, when spring storm systems tracking northeast from the Plains and squall lines from the Midwest converge over central Indiana. March and July represent secondary risk months. The largest recorded hail event in Hamilton County occurred on June 18, 2025, when hail reached 1.5 inches in diameter—a size capable of functional roof damage on standard asphalt shingles.

Hamilton County's documented hail record includes a small number of events, reflecting NOAA's reporting density for this region rather than absence of hail activity. Many smaller hail events (under 1 inch) occur but do not meet the federal reporting threshold. Fishers's moderate contractor market means post-storm repair capacity can be limited, increasing the likelihood of out-of-area contractors entering the local market after significant events. Current-year data is excluded from the annual frequency table until October, when NOAA's Storm Events Database has processed the full hail season accounting for the standard 75-day reporting lag.
