Rain (precipitation)

Rain is a type of precipitation that falls from clouds in liquid droplets. The video above shows active rain precipitation. Rain can have various intensities, which vary. The video above shows around a moderate rainfall event, categorized by 2.5-7.6mm/hour of rainfall. Rainfall varies due to atmospheric conditions (e.g., air pressure, humidity levels, temperature, and wind), seasonal variations, cloud types, and geographic factors (e.g., distance from large water bodies and elevation). Rainfall intensities can affect a riverscape's flooding potential, groundwater recharge, runoff generation, soil saturation, etc.
