regnar

Regnar is the Swedish present tense form of regna, which means to rain. It describes rainfall that is currently occurring and is commonly used in weather forecasts, news reports, and ordinary conversation. The related noun is regn, which denotes rain as a form of precipitation.

In meteorology, rain occurs when atmospheric water vapor condenses into droplets that grow within clouds and become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Factors such as air uplift, humidity, temperature, and atmospheric stability determine whether air produces rain, and what type of rain forms (light rain, moderate rain, or heavy rain).

Common phrases include 'Det regnar' (it's raining) and 'Regnar det just nu?' (Is it raining now?). In Swedish, compounds such as 'regnskur' are used for a short rain shower, and 'regnväder' refers to a weather period characterized by rain.

Rainfall patterns vary by region and season; Sweden's rainfall is variable, with coastal areas typically receiving more rain than inland areas, and autumn often bringing more precipitation in many parts of the country. Rain is a routine element of weather patterns in many climates and is measured in millimeters using rain gauges for forecasting and climate statistics.
