What are heavy rains or violent thunderstorms.
Curious about how much rain fell in a certain period of time? Measure precipitation with this tool.
What is a rain gauge?
Name this severe weather phenomena...
The white puffy clouds that have been growing all day are replaced by a greenish gray sky. A distant rumble is heard...then another. It starts to rain. A flash of light streaks the sky, followed by a huge BOOM.

What is warm air?
What determines the kind of precipitation falls to the Earth (rain, snow, hail, sleet)?
The air temperature.
Colder air rises above warmer air, creating a disturbance in the atmosphere like clouds and precipitation.
What is cold front?
