I (accidently) woke up at 7am this morning and saw that it was raining, really, really heavily, and it was still like that half an hour later. So I went back to sleep and when I woke up again at 11:30 there wasn't any indication of rain; the streets are dry, the soil outside is dry, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, but I could have sworn it was raining. Am I imagining things?
Originally posted by Freddie2006Quick lesson in elementary science for you numbnuts: Rain is water falling from the sky. It is not a permanent affair, it comes and goes from time to time. When it stops, if the temperature is high (as it has been recently) and the sun is shining then evaporation starts. Evaporation causes water to leave the ground and float up into the sky again. Evaporation is increased by a light breeze or wind. Hence, no rain on the streets.

Moral to story is that what seems normal elementary science is not always normal, and maybe shouldn't be over looked.😕

Ice cannot evaporate (by definition), under the right conditions (pressure) it could sublimate but that's not what we're talking about.

It was raining very hard for a minimum of half an hour (probably a lot longer). Is it feesable that that much rain could evaporate in less than four hours?
