What has heavy downpours of rain?

Heavy downpours of rain, often referred to as torrential rain or heavy rainfall events, occur when a significant amount of precipitation falls in a short period, typically exceeding 0.3 inches (7.6 mm) per hour.

They are commonly associated with severe weather systems, such as thunderstorms, tropical storms, or monsoons.
