Why does the rain keep stopping?
Rain is described as drops of liquid water falling from the sky. So long as these droplets remain tiny they stay in the sky. And rain stops. Some droplets collide with others in order to become larger whilst others will grow as water condenses out the air into the droplet.
Why does the weather keep fluctuating?
Although daily changes in weather are due to winds and storms, the seasonal changes we live with are due to the earth revolving around the sun. The differences in these temperatures create a restless movement of air and water in great swirling currents that distribute heat energy across the planet.
Why does it rain so much suddenly?
Scientists found that cumulus clouds can create rain showers in a matter of minutes when atmospheric turbulence exceeds a threshold, greatly increasing the rate of droplet collisions. Dark clouds may form slowly throughout the day before a drop of rain falls, and sunny days can suddenly transform into thunderstorms.
