In the doldrums, near the equator, the Earth's rotation causes warm air to rise, creating low pressure and calm winds. As this air rises, it cools, condenses, and forms clouds, leading to frequent afternoon rain showers. The combination of low pressure and moisture in this region contributes to the pattern of little wind and lots of afternoon rain.

How does a flood become a flood?

A flood can occur when there is excessive rainfall, snowmelt, or a sudden release of water from a dam or levee. When the ground becomes saturated and cannot absorb any more water, the excess water flows over the surface, leading to flooding. Topography and human activities can also influence the severity and extent of flooding.

Where is hail most likely to occur geographically?

Hail is found anywhere thunderstorms occur, especially severe storms. This would be most places in the mid-latitudes, especially continental locations. The tropics have lots of thunderstorms but not as many generate hail. Some of the most frequent hail occurs in mountainous areas due to the orographic lift that allows updrafts to become stronger. It is very common and hail can be quite large in northern India and parts of China. Hailstorms can also occur frequently across much of Europe.
