Grindina fiind mai grea, se ciocnește mai des cu cristalele mai mici de gheață. Grindina grea cade la baza furtunii, iar cristalele mici urcă la vârful norului. Interacțiunile dintre cristalele mari și cristalele mici de gheață le încarcă cu sarcini diferite. Și atunci, cristalele mici urcă sus în furtună și au sarcină pozitivă, iar cristalele mai mari care ajung la baza furtunii, cum ar fi grindina, se încarcă cu sarcină negativă.
