Oklahoma City hail season 2026
69 NWS-recorded hail reports ≥1″ within 35 miles, across 6 storm days, max 2.75". Every one of those reports is a dated, located, citable official record — the context behind this market's 2026 claim volume.
Preliminary 2026 reports (SPC, season in progress)
Same-day SPC storm reports through 2026-06-13, before NCEI compiles the final record: 69 reports ≥1″ on 6 days, up to 2.75". Preliminary counts shift as reports are quality-controlled; they are labeled preliminary in every report we generate.

Wind context: the record also holds 8 thunderstorm-wind events ≥50 kt (≈58 mph, the NWS severe criterion) in this radius for 2026 — relevant where the dispute is wind vs hail causation.

Provenance
Final counts: NCEI Storm Events Database, file vintage c20260527, hail events with recorded magnitude ≥1.00″ and point coordinates within 35 miles of the Oklahoma City anchor. Preliminary counts: SPC daily storm reports through 2026-06-13. NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure. Spotted an error? Email the address on our terms page and we correct against the source.
