Evaporation: The sun heats water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, turning it into vapor that rises into the atmosphere.
Condensation: As vapor cools at higher altitudes, it forms tiny water droplets or ice crystals, creating clouds.
Precipitation: When these droplets grow heavy enough, they fall as rain (or snow/sleet if temperatures are low).
Key factors:
Temperature: Warmer air holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall.
Air currents: Winds carry moisture-laden clouds across regions.
Topography: Mountains force air upward, cooling it and causing rain on windward sides.
Rain is vital for ecosystems, agriculture, and replenishing freshwater sources. In Nigeria, seasonal rains (April–October) support farming but can also cause flooding. Climate change is altering rainfall patterns, making some areas wetter and others drier.
Fun fact: Raindrops aren’t tear-shaped—they resemble hamburger buns due to air resistance
