Rainy

Rainy weather is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by the presence of precipitation in the form of water droplets. This can occur in various forms such as drizzle, showers, or heavy downpours.

Causes of Rain

Rain is primarily caused by the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere. When warm, moist air rises and cools, the water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets, forming clouds. These droplets eventually coalesce and fall to the ground as rain.

Effects of Rain

Rain plays a crucial role in the water cycle, replenishing freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. It also sustains plant and animal life, and helps to regulate temperatures in the environment.
