Terry, a staff at the German European School on Jalan Jurong Kechil in Bukit Timah, says his students noticed that it was raining hail yesterday morning (10 Sept).
He elaborates:
"I would like to bring to your attention a strange occurrence this morning (10 Sept) at our Primary Campus at the German European School Singapore on Jalan Jurong Kechil.
"During the thunder storm, at about 9.30am, in addition to the rain, we had hail.
"Our students brought this to my attention. I attached photos taken from my mobile phone camera, and one with a small piece of hail held in a hand.
"Unfortunately the hail melted very quickly and was too difficult to get other photos. However we have many eyewitnesses, our students.
"During my 7 years in Singapore I have never once seen nor heard about hail falling from the sky.
"Something that is both exciting, and worrying.
"I am not sure if you received any other reports of this strange phenomenon."

Yr definition of hail is completely wrong, that would be the definition of freezing rain.
Hailstones, simply put, are results of intense turbulence in the thunderstorm clouds, and the downdrafts are so strong that they fell to the ground quickly, not allowing enough time and contact with the air for them to melt.
The force and speed with which they reach the ground can be damaging to structures, vehicles and crops.
