Question

There are clouds forming over Florida. The temperatures in the clouds and in the air are above freezing. Which form of precipitation do you expect Florida to get and why?

Answer 1

The type of precipitation expected to occur in Florida is "Rain" when the temperatures of air and clouds are above freezing point.

Explanation:

Under certain conditions, water droplets get freezes due to low temperatures. However, if the temperature of the air beneath the cloud is higher than the freezing point 32°F (0°C), the frozen start to meltdown due to high temperature and falls as raindrops on the surface of the earth. Hence Rain form of precipitation is expected to occur in Florida when the temperature of the cloud and air is above freezing.
