Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Let’s start with the definition of a shower regarding the weather. The dictionary defines it as a fall of rain, sleet, hail or snow (and everything in-between) of short duration. “Of short duration” is the difference between showers and rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -A forecast for scattered showers and storms suggests rain chances in the range of 40-60 percent.
Detailed explanation-3: -On the other hand, rain showers are considered to be light rainfall that has a shorter duration than rain, and is more scattered across an area. (When you hear “showers” think of an actual shower bath).
