To water with a shower; to ??t copiously with rain.
To bestow liberally; to destribute or scatter in ?undance; to rain.
To rain in showers; to fall, as in a hower or showers.
In describing present or past weather, the following distinction is made between the use of the terms 'showers' and 'occasional precipitation'. In general, showers are of short duration, and the fair periods between them are usually characterised by definite clearance of the sky. The clouds which give the showers are, therefore, isolated. The precipitation does not usually last more than 15 minutes, though it may occasionally last for half an hour or more. Occasional precipitation, on the other hand, usually lasts for a longer time than the showers, and the sky in the periods between the precipitation is usually cloudy or overcast.
Precipitation from a cumuliform cloud. Characterized by the suddenness of beginning and ending, by the rapid change in intensity, and usually by a rapid change in the condition of the sky. The solid or liquid water particles are usually bigger than the corresponding elements in other types of precipitation.
A heavy, short lived period of precipitation.
Intermittent rainfall of short duration that falls from a cumulus cloud. Heavy precipitation is possible. Showers imply scattered rainfall.
Intermittent precipitation (rain) that is short-lived but occasionally heavy.
a brief period of precipitation; "the game was interrupted by a brief shower"
a sudden downpour (as of tears or sparks etc) likened to a rain shower; "a little shower of rose petals"; "a sudden cascade of sparks"
rain abundantly; "Meteors showered down over half of Australia"
a LIGHT rain, and not a down pour
In weather reports, solid or liquid precipitation from a convection cloud is designated a shower and is distinguished in such reports from the precipitation, intermittent or continuous, from layer clouds. Showers are often characterized by short duration and rapid fluctuations of intensity. Hail invariably implies a shower, while drizzle very seldom does.
Precipitation that is intermittent, in space, time, or intensity.
a type of precipitation that has a stopping-and-starting nature or rapid changes in intensity; and occurs when the atmosphere is unstable.
Intermittent and usually short spells of precipitation.
Precipitation that falls intermittently (off and on) and has varying rates of intensity.
Rain that begins suddenly and causes a quick change in the sky's appearance.
Intermittent rainfall of short duration that falls from a cumulus cloud. Heavy precipitation is possible. Implies more of a scattered rainfall.
(SH) -- Intermittent rain or snow.
intermittent precipitation from a convective cloud, generally of short duration
Snowfall or rainfall or brief duration that can either be heavy or light.
Precipitation that is intermittent, both in time, space or intensity.
Showery precipitation falls from convective cumulus-type clouds and can be further identified by one of more of the following features: Showers often (but not always) begin and end abruptly. Showers usually occur in periods of short duration, perhaps 15 minutes or so, but they may last much longer. There are usually rapid fluctuations in the intensity of the precipitation. There is usually a noticeable brightening of the sky between showers.
Liquid precipitation from a convective cumulus-type cloud. Showers are characterized by the suddenness with which they start and stop by their rapid changes in intensity and usually by rapid changes in the appearance of the sky.
Precipitation from cumuliform cloud; characterized by suddenness of beginning and ending, by rapid changes in intensity, and usually by rapid changes in the appearance of the sky.
Precipitation from a convective cloud that is characterized by its sudden beginning and ending, changes in intensity, and rapid changes in the appearance of the sky. It occurs in the form of rain (SHRA), snow (SHSN), or ice (SHPE). It is reported as "SH" in an observation and on the METAR.
Precipitation from a convective cloud. Showers are characterized by the suddenness with which they start and stop, by the rapid changes of intensity, and usually by rapid changes in the appearance of the sky. In weather observing practice, showers are always reported in terms of the basic type of precipitation that is falling, that is, rain showers, snow showers, sleet showers. In aviation weather observations, these are encoded RW, SW, and EW, respectively. See airmass shower.
