Heavy Rain

Heavy rain occurs when large amounts of moisture in the atmosphere condense into water droplets and fall to the ground quickly. This often happens during storms or weather systems like thunderstorms or cyclones, where warm, moist air rises and cools, forming dense clouds. When these clouds become saturated, they release the accumulated moisture rapidly, resulting in intense rainfall. Heavy rain can lead to flooding, reduced visibility, and transportation disruptions, and it plays a vital role in replenishing freshwater sources. It is a natural part of weather systems, driven by atmospheric dynamics and humidity levels.
