Is the rain in Tomb-Sweeping Day a weather phenomenon or a climate?

This is a weather phenomenon.

Climate, a natural science term, is the long-term average state of atmospheric physical characteristics. Unlike the weather, it has stability. Time scales are months, seasons, years, years to hundreds of years.

Weather refers to the specific state of the atmosphere near the surface of a certain area in a short time. Weather phenomenon refers to various natural phenomena in the atmosphere, that is, the comprehensive expression of the spatial distribution of various meteorological elements in the atmosphere (such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, clouds, fog, rain, flash, snow, frost, thunder, hail, haze, etc.). ) in an instant.

Successive rains during the Qingming period are obviously a weather phenomenon to describe the rainy weather during the Qingming period, not a longer-term climate.
