Rainy Weather
Rainy days are indicated by varying degrees of precipitation, ranging from a drizzle to a heavy downpour. Nimbus clouds cover a wide area of the sky and block the light of the sun. The following are conditions during rainy weather:

  • Air pressure is low. Barometric readings usually drop before it rains.
  • Before rain falls, humidity is high. However, humidity drops upon the downpour because water returns to the ground.
  • Rainy days are marked with cool temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C.
Rainy weather is characterized by light to heavy downpour.
