Rain comes in many flavors, like drizzle, shower, and thunderstorm rain. It all depends on what's happening high up in the sky. When warm air rises and cools down, it turns into clouds, and then rain falls from them. If the air is really cold, you might get snow or hail instead of just rain.
Examples
- A drizzle feels like a gentle whisper from the sky.
- Raindrops falling from a storm cloud feel like being pelted with marbles.
- During a thunderstorm, rain can pour down like a waterfall.
