Precipitation

Insyd meteorology, precipitation be any product of de condensation of atmospheric water vapor wey dey fall from clouds due to gravitational pull. De main forms of precipitation dey include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel den hail. Precipitation dey occur wen a portion of de atmosphere cam turn saturated plus water vapor (wey dey reach 100% relative humidity), so dat de water dey condense den "dey precipitate" anaa falls. Thus, fog den mist no be precipitation; dema water vapor no dey condense sufficiently to precipitate, so fog den mist no dey fall. (Such a non-precipitating combination be a colloid.) Two processes, possibly dey act togeda, fi lead to air wey dey cam saturated plus water vapor: dey cool de air anaa dey add water vapor to de air. Precipitation dey form as smaller droplets coalesce via collision plus oda rain drops anaa ice crystals within a cloud. Dem dey bell short, intense periods of rain insyd scattered locations showers.
