Hail Repair in Belton, MO
Belton logs less hail than any of the 20 cities in the metro record, and its season peaks later than most. This page lays out the NOAA record and what PDR can fix.
In Belton, June is the hail month. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) logged 45 reports of hail at 1 inch or larger within 10 miles of Belton from 2010 to 2025. Eighteen of them came in June. No other month comes close. Belton is the only city in our metro data where June leads. It also has the smallest total of all 20 cities. A small count does not mean small hail, though. If your car is parked here, early summer is the stretch to watch.
The smallest file of the 20
Those 45 reports fell on 22 days, the fewest hail days of the 20 metro cities. A report is one sighting of hail at one place, sized by the biggest stone seen. Many sizes are estimates. A storm with no one watching leaves no report at all.
So the low count may mean less hail. It may also mean fewer people reporting it. The record cannot say which.
Golf ball size, 1.75 inches and up, accounts for 16 reports on nine days. No city in the 20 city metro record logs fewer golf ball reports. Even so, those 16 make up more than a third of Belton's file. Among the 20, only Lee's Summit posts a higher golf ball share. The nine days tie Raymore, Grandview and Liberty for the fewest golf ball days. Three reports reached baseball size, 2.75 inches or more, and every one came on a 3.0 inch day.
The latest 1 inch day was June 7, 2024, and it reached golf ball size. Belton was not among the cities with hail on May 19, 2025, or September 16, 2025.
Three June days, fifteen reports
June 27, 2013, brought six reports, topping out at golf ball size. Raymore and Grandview logged six apiece that day.
June 26, 2016, brought the most reports of any golf ball day in Belton's file. Seven reports came in, the largest 2.5 inches. Olathe, Overland Park and Leawood logged seven each too, so that storm reached well across the state line.
June 7, 2024, added two more, with stones to 2 inches. It is also the most recent hail day on file here.
Those three days hold 15 of Belton's 18 June reports. That is why June towers over the rest of the calendar. It comes from three heavy days, not from hail every June. Still, if you park outside in Belton, June is the month to watch the forecast closely.
The rest of Belton's calendar
Outside June, the counts are small. April has seven, and four of those came on April 3, 2011, the first 3.0 inch day. March and May hold five each. July has four, three of them from July 17, 2023. October shows three, August two and February one. September, November, December and January show none.
That July day matters. A 3.0 inch stone in midsummer tied the April 2011 record. Raymore and Lee's Summit logged 3.0 inch hail that day as well.
The smaller months still hold a few big days. March 27, 2014, brought two reports with stones to 2 inches. Both August reports fell on August 24, 2016, and the larger reached golf ball size. April 26, 2016, added one golf ball report, and so did February 27, 2011.
So the window in Belton runs from April through July, with June at the center. That stretch accounts for 34 of the 45 reports.

Coverage and the dent list
A hail claim is a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim. Your policy sets the deductible, and your carrier applies it and decides what it authorizes. Terms vary, so ask your carrier about yours. Does insurance cover hail damage? explains how that works in Missouri and Kansas. At the estimate, you hear which dents PDR may not fix fully, and why. What PDR cannot fix covers each case.

Hail Repair Questions in Belton
A low count is not a promise. Belton's file still holds three reports at baseball size or larger, on April 3, 2011, and July 17, 2023. Both days topped out at 3.0 inches. A count can also run low when fewer people report what falls. One storm is enough to dent a car, whatever the total over 16 years says.
Rarely, going by the record. SPC logged three October reports near Belton from 2010 to 2025, and none of them reached golf ball size. October 1, 2014, is one of those dates. September shows no reports at all, and neither do November through January. Most of the risk sits from April through July. Those four months hold 34 of Belton's 45 reports.
Look the car over in daylight and photograph each panel. Note the date, since the storm date matters to your carrier. Then call your carrier and ask how it wants the claim started. A free assessment gives you a dent count and the list of dents PDR may not fix fully. You can get it before or after that call.
