Weather Question (ot)

Aug 30, 2006 4 Replies

OK, Here's one for you weather guru's or engineers....



Is there a minimum distance for one raindrop to be from another raindrop? Is there a maximum size for a raindrop? Or, how densely can raindrops be packed during rainfall?



Inquiring minds want to know... Jeff (Someone once inquired about my mind, and asked me where it was..) Rice


Not that I could find

"Rain drops vary in size from about 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) to as much as 0.33 in. (8 mm) in thunderstorms."

When I was a kid I thought when you have a 3" rain is when the drops are

3" apart.

Thanks. That answered one of the questions. How about the rest?

No, I didn't get wet. or flooded, or anything... Jeff

You were on the west (subsiding) side of the storm.
