What do you mean by thunder and rain?

Thunder and rain refers to the formation of clouds in the sky. Water vapor in the clouds condenses to form water droplets, and then gathers in the clouds to form water droplets. When the water drops get bigger, they will fall to form raindrops until they are heavy enough. Falling raindrops generate friction due to air resistance and gravity during falling, and the energy generated by friction is converted into acoustic energy, forming thunder. Thunder and rain mean that the weather changes dramatically, so you need to carry rain gear when you go out, and you need to be especially careful when driving to avoid adverse effects on electrical appliances.

Thunder and rain also have symbolic meanings, usually referring to strong emotional expressions such as anger and emotional excitement. For example, when people are angry, they may describe their emotions as much thunder and little rain. Compared with the negative effects of thunder and rain, thunder and rain at this time contain emotional colors, which may be one of the ways to express strong feelings.

In different cultures, thunder and rain have different symbolic meanings. In the traditional culture of China, thunder and lightning are usually regarded as the form of the anger of the gods and the abnormal change of the sky. At the same time, thunder and rain also represent an important communication bridge between solar terms. For example, the day before the vernal equinox and the day after the autumnal equinox are often times of thunder and rain. At this time, besides being careful not to be struck by lightning, we should also strengthen physical exercise, drink more water and enhance immunity. In short, under different cultural backgrounds, thunder and rain may represent changeable weather, strong emotions, mysterious omens and so on.
