  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004679",
  "term": "Convective showers",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Precipitation of short duration and variable intensity that falls from a convective cloud, such as a cumulus or cumulonimbus. These showers are characterized by their abrupt start and stop, rapid changes in intensity, and localized coverage. They are a product of vertical air motions driven by surface heating or atmospheric instability, contrasting with the more widespread and steady precipitation from stratiform clouds.",
