2. Cloudburst A cloudburst is an extreme amount of  precipitation  in a short period of time.  sometimes accompanied by  hail and thunder, which is capable of creating flood conditions .

3. Rainfall rate equal to or greater than 100 millimetres (3.9 in) per hour is a cloudburst   According to the Swedish weather service defines the corresponding Swedish term " skyfall " as 1 mm/min for short bursts and 50 mm/h for longer rainfalls The results of cloudbursts can be disastrous

4. RESPONSIBLE FACTOR FOR CLOUDBRUST  Cloudbursts are infrequent as they occur via  orographic lift   Orographic Lift:-  when an  air mass  is forced from a low  elevation  to a higher elevation as it moves over rising  terrain . As the air mass gains  altitude  it quickly cools down  adiabatically , and create  clouds  and, under the right conditions,  precipitation

5. 2. when a warm air parcel mixes with cooler air, resulting in sudden  condensation . 3 At times, a large amount of runoff from higher elevations is mistakenly conflated with a cloudburst.
