What is the difference between rain and showers?
Even though "showers" are indeed rain, there's a difference between the two as far as weather forecasts go. When meteorologists call for "Rain," it is a more widespread event. Most of the area will see rain and it'll last for a while. "Showers" are scattered, not everyone will be getting wet at the same time. It could be raining in the suburbs, but dry in the city. Plus, showers tend to be much shorter in duration -- anywhere from a minute to an hour.
