Meteorologists: "50mm of rain today!"

What they don't tell you? THE TIME FACTOR! 🌧️⏱️

Left side: 50mm spread over 10 hours = mild inconvenience and a soggy umbrella.

Right side: 50mm in 1 hour = SURPRISE KAYAKING OPPORTUNITY! Streets become rivers, stop signs become navigation markers, and your car becomes a very expensive boat anchor.

This is why meteorology needs more specificity. The difference between "bring an umbrella" and "build an ark" is just a matter of temporal distribution!
