Hail risk is expected to increase in Central Europe. Findings on hail hazard changes often build on studying mesoscale environmental conditions or use area-integrated hail day statistics. Climatological insights into characteristics and trends on the storm-scale are still rare but can be highly risk-relevant. This study analyses 60,000 radar-based hailstorm tracks in the Swiss radar domain from 2002 to 2021, covering several European hail hotspots. We investigate whether long-term changes in hai
