How to distinguish the rain in the weather symbol?

The signs of heavy, moderate and light rain are as follows:

The rainfall of rainwater is classified according to the depth of rain falling on the horizontal ground (assuming no leakage, evaporation, loss, etc. ) in a certain period of time.

Daily rainfall is the total rainfall of an area within 1 day. In addition, there are annual rainfall, monthly rainfall and how many hours of rainfall. If the daily rainfall is accumulated, the ten-day rainfall, monthly rainfall and annual rainfall can be obtained respectively. Secondary rainfall refers to the total amount of continuous rainfall from the beginning to the end of a certain rainfall.

Rainfall is measured by rain gauge or rain gauge, and the unit is millimeter.

Rainfall observation can be divided into four types: 24 segments (1h), 8 segments (3h), 4 segments (6h) and 1 segment (24h).
