The official meteorological term is precipitation.According to the US Geological Survey, a sub-organization of the US Department of the Interior: "Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain."
