Calculation results are presented of formation of hail cloud microstructure under natural conditions and those of cloud modification. It is shown that a significant role in hailstone formation belongs to deformation of fields of thermodynamic parameters of a cloud under the influence of updrafts. The present-day notions of cloud structure, movement and growth of hailstone, and also the existing concepts of hail modification are specified.
