As I said on your other, almost identical post, with a somewhat different title, "[...]is a phenomenon" is correct. 'Phenomenon' is the singular form and 'phenomena' is the plural form of the noun. Hail is just one, so it is 'phenomenon' and takes the singular verb form, 'is', not 'are.' Please only ask your question once.
