Virga [ˈvə:ːgə]
(дождь, который испаряется, не достигая земли)
Precipitation which evaporates before reaching the surface.
Virga is often seen as a short curtain of rain underneath a cloud.
The precipitation falls through warmer air with a higher dew point and evaporates before reaching the surface.
To be avoided
Virga can cause downdrafts, and can also be associated with microbursts and severe turbulence.
