What does the rain prefix have to do with it?

This radical character is usually related to weather, water and natural phenomena.

The rain prefix, such as rain, stands for water drops falling in the sky, snow stands for ice crystals falling in the sky, and thunder stands for strong electric shock in the sky, which is one of the weather phenomena.

There are also some rain prefix characters that describe concepts related to water and natural phenomena. For example, dew represents water droplets on the ground or the surface of an object, and frost represents white ice crystals on the ground or the surface of an object.
