Brief description of the issue:

Rain showers are created by convective clouds, and they need to be fairly sizeable (Towering/Congestus/Nimbus) to be able to release a shower of any speakable size, especially if we are talking about dramatic looking dark/shaded opaque columns of rain.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:


These tiny things would never be able to create such a shower.

100% correct observation/bug report. It’s fascinating how much the developers have actually accomplished in this simulation by knowing so little about it.
