生活不止眼前的苟且
还有诗和远方
夏天不止身上的汗水
还有暴雨倾盆
天气预报根据降雨量（rainfall)把雨分为：
小雨（light rain）
1d（或24h）降雨量小于10mm
中雨（moderate rain）
1d（或24h）降雨量10～25mm
大雨（heavy rain）
1d（或24h）降雨量25～50mm
暴雨（torrential rain）
1d（或24h）降雨量50～100mm
大暴雨（downpour）
1d（或24h）降雨量100～200mm
特大暴雨（heavy downpour）
1d（或24h）降雨量在200mm以
天气预报毕竟套路深，能把雨分成这么多种
其实在吃瓜群众眼里，雨就只有两种
