What are the four weather phenomena we know?

Our common weather phenomena are divided into precipitation, ground condensation, sight distance obstacle and lightning. Atmospheric physical phenomena such as precipitation, water vapor condensate (except clouds), frozen matter, sound, light and electricity produced in the air and on the ground also include some characteristics related to wind.

Ground condensation phenomena include dew, frost, rime, rain, etc. Sight distance obstacles include fog, light fog, snow blowing, snowstorm, smoke screen, haze, sandstorm, sand blowing and floating dust; Lightning phenomena include thunderstorms, lightning and aurora; Precipitation phenomena include liquid precipitation: rain, showers and Mao Mao rain, solid precipitation: snow, showers, graupel, rice snow, ice particles and hail, and mixed precipitation: sleet and showers.

Extended data

Terms and definitions:

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. ? Shower: liquid precipitation with sudden start and stop and great intensity change, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms.

Rain in Mao Mao: dense, tiny and very uniform liquid precipitation, which is difficult to distinguish. It seems that with the weak movement of the air floating in the air, it slowly falls, and there is a wet feeling on my face. Falling on the water, there is no ripple, just evenly wet on the dry ground, and there is no wet spot on the ground.

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.
