If a cloud is very dark but droplet growth is limited why will heavy rain not be certain?What is the correct difference in areal rainfall nature between nimbostratus and cumulonimbus?If collision and coalescence of small droplets are very weak in a cloud what will happen to rain formation?If supercooled droplets keep freezing on ice particles in cumulonimbus which hazard will increase?If high cirrus clouds are followed by lower dense layered clouds which indication is more appropriate?If rainfall is very high on the windward slope of a mountain what can the long-term climate of the leeward area be like?If a cloud has ice crystals above and liquid droplets below what vertical structure does it show?If falling snowflakes partially melt and then pass through a cold layer why can precipitation identification become complex?If surface air has very high relative humidity why can cloud base form lower?If a cloud has enough moisture but very weak uplift why will heavy precipitation remain limited?In which condition is virga more likely?If cloud droplets are very tiny and coalescence is weak what result is most likely?In orographic rainfall if air is already dry why will rain remain limited despite increased height?If precipitation particles make several up and down cycles in cumulonimbus why can hail grow?If cloud water content is same but droplets are fewer and larger how can rain chance be affected?If lower air is both warm and dry how can precipitation leaving a cloud change?If a convectional cloud is local but rainfall is extremely intense what is the best reason?If ice crystals form in a cloud and lower layers remain cold what is more likely at the ground?If a storm cloud has rain and icy zones together which hazard can be more associated?If water starts falling from a cloud but measured surface rainfall is very low which explanation is most scientific?
