Abstract (2. Language): 
The Hail storm cause damage to agriculturel lands, cars and buildings in effected regions. Intensity of damage depends on the hail size [1‐2]. For this reason, it is necessary to investigate dynamic and physical structure of hail storm for forecaster. Despite the severe hail is most likely occured in the afternoon and evening in spring and summer, particularly in May and June [3] hail storm occured with the waterspout in winter 2016/January 1500Z over Hatay/Iskenderun located south of Turkey. The aim of the study investigate the hail storm which occured in 08.01.2016 in Hatay Turkey. Also show the synoptic occurence, radar picture and time synchronized thermodynamic diagram and numerical weather prediction datas belong to ECMWF. Radar pictures which are Zdr, RhoHV, phiDP and VIL datas is discussed and hail size has been estiemated via VIL datas.
