Precipitation

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Precipitation does not fall in the same amounts throughout the world, in a country, or even in a city. Here in Colombia, it rains fairly evenly all during the year, with averages ranging from 500 mm per year in Caribbean region (dry climate) to 11,000 mm per year in some Pacific regions (extremely rainy).

On this section you will find specialized software which allows the modeling of rainfall not associated with the passing of a hurricane nearby a specific region.
