The objective of the present investigation was to analyze the conditions of the dynamics and thermodynamics of the atmosphere associated with the hail storm that occurred on October 13, 2019 in the district of Huancán, Huancayo province of the Junín Region, which caused a roof to collapse with fatal consequences of six dead people. For the study, analysis and forecast data from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model with a resolution of 0.5° were used and simulations with the regional Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for three domains with resolutions of 50 km (D1), 10 km (D2) and 2 km (D3) were projected. In each domain, the wind flow, divergence, relative vorticity and vertical velocity at the surface, 500 hPa and 300 hPa, were analyzed, in addition to the vertical variation of the potential and equivalent potential temperature, complemented with the analyzes of the GOES 16 satellite images. In order to understand hail impacts, 35 residents of the area were interviewed. In addition, the results show that at a regional and synoptic level there is advection of moisture on the surface and 500 hPa from the northeast of the study area, predominating convergence on the surface and divergence at 300 hPa as well. At the time of the event, the vertical wind speed in domain D3 over the study area reached 4 m/s and the atmosphere was potentially unstable; conditions that favored deep convection. The most significant impacts of the hailstorm mentioned by the residents are the breakage and collapse of roofs, and plants crops falling flowers and leaves of the area. Likewise, it can be stated that the WRF model was able to detect convection up to 24 hours in advance. Finally, advection of humidity at the surface and 500 hPa, convergence and divergence at the surface and 300 hPa, cyclonic circulation at 300 hPa, vertical velocity and the equivalent potential temperature vertical variation are considered factors in the conceptual model.
