What are the common weather phenomena?

Common weather phenomena include rain, snow, fog, haze and lightning.

Rain: Droplet-like liquid precipitation, which can be clearly seen when falling, and its intensity changes slowly. Falling on the water will cause ripples and splashes, and falling on the ground will leave wet spots.

Snow: solid precipitation, mostly white opaque star-shaped and hexagonal flaky crystals, with six branches, often falls slowly and the intensity changes slowly. When the temperature is high, it often falls in droves.

Fog: An obstacle to sight distance. When the air near the ground is cooled under the conditions of sufficient moisture, light breeze and stable atmosphere, the moisture in the air condenses into tiny water droplets suspended in the air, making the horizontal visibility of the ground less than 1.0 km. It is divided into three grades: 0.5km ≤ visibility.

Haze: a sight distance obstacle phenomenon. A large number of extremely fine dry dust particles are uniformly suspended in the air, and the air is turbid, and the horizontal visibility is less than 10.0 km. Make bright objects in the distance red and yellow, and make dark objects blue. When the visibility is less than 3 kilometers, it becomes a disastrous weather.

Lightning: a strong discharge phenomenon in the atmosphere accompanied by luminescence. According to the position in the air, it can be divided into three categories: cloud, cloud and cloud. According to the different shapes of lightning channels, they can be called linear, banded, flaky, spherical, forked, rocket-shaped, beaded lightning and so on.

Other weather phenomena include:

Dust storm: small cyclone, dust and other small objects produced by strong local heating of the ground in the near-surface gas layer are rolled up with the wind to form dust columns.
