Hail usually happens during late spring and summer storms, not colder weather storms. It originates high in the atmosphere where temps are below freezing...it has no bearing on ground temps other than warmer ground temps fuel storms to make them more powerful and more likely to produce hail...and produce larger hail. Heat wouldn't be the limiting factor with storms...the humidity would be the factor. That is why you generally don't have a lot fo rain in desserts, but coastal areas and places with a lot of standing water generally get more rain.
