showers

Salam.

This is a meteorology term used in weather forecast for an app localization.

Is there any term that accurately describes showers?

I tried to find this term in MetMalaysia but no success. How to differentiate showers from rain?

-> the correct NWS definition, rain is steady and continuous, showers start and stop abruptly and can vary in intensity


Thank you.

As for passing shower, it is called hujan lalu due to wind blowing. So, it is also occurs briefly, for short period.
Munirah Mahat (asker) Jun 30, 2016:
shower shower (in prpm without s, under geography term)
Hujan lari: Curahan singkat hujan atau batu hujan yang berbeza keamatan dan kepanjangan.

As the meaning, shower can vary in intensity. So, regardless it is heavy rain or drizzle, shower occurs in a short period of time.


In Malay, it is hujan lari=hujan lalu=hujan halau mentua

I hope you could check it again, passing showers > hujan lari. Not solely showers. Tq.

hujan renyai-renyai

Malay terms have, gerimis, hujan sekejap-sekejap, hujan renyai-renyai and hujan lebat. I believe the best match for showers is hujan renyai-renyai. These are common term used during weather forecast on TV.
