On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In that country flax and barley are almost ripe when wheat and rye (spelt) are green. And hence the flax must have been "bolled"--that is, risen in stalk or podded in February, thus fixing the particular month when the event took place.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

In this plague the hot thunderbolts, as well as the hail, are said to destroy their flocks, Ps. lxxviii. Perhaps David alludes to this when, describing God's glorious appearances for the discomfiture of his enemies, he speaks of the hailstones and coals of fire he threw among them, Ps. xviii. And there is a plan reference to it on the pouring out of the seventh vial, Rev. xvi.
