What is very heavy rain?


Heavy rain refers to rainfall of more than 50mm and less than 80mm per hour. This is an image of rain that falls like a waterfall and continues to fall. Also, umbrellas are completely useless, and about half of the people sleeping inside a wooden house notice the rain. It is dangerous to drive a car outside because the water splashes all over the place and reduces visibility.

It should be noted that 50 mm of rain per hour means that if the rainwater does not flow to another place and remains as it is, the rain will be about 50 mm high. If 50 mm of rain falls on 1 square meter in an hour, it will produce 50 liters of water. For example, the open area of ​​an umbrella is about 1 square meter, so if you open the umbrella for an hour, it will receive rain as much as 50 milk cartons.

However, in reality, when the surrounding rainwater collects, it may accumulate more than the amount of rain that fell at that point. In places where very heavy rain is expected, please be careful of landslide disasters, flooding of low-lying land, and swelling and flooding of rivers.
