Thank you once again, Ino. Just a quick question as you raised something I wasn't aware of:
"Rains can be incessant when the freezing level is low!"
Could you explain why that's the case? I can think of one or two possibilities, but not an expert. My immediate thought is when freezing levels are low in a warm tropical area, then the large temperature gradient plays a part, but don't really know. Thanks.
PS. Quick afterthought. Perhaps all the potential energy held by the ice particles at much lower altitudes than normal plays a big part as well. It wouldn't require much to release all that energy.
