I am beginning to wonder if these units could be better reported in metric units with a link to the Wiki conversion of units page. Are there no objections if I go ahead and make the change? -- RolandG 10:37, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
In my opinion, it would be useful to discuss the processes by which precipitation forms (see Met Office: Clouds, although maybe some of this information is a bit technical for the general reader. TCrossland 18 Jul 2004.

Hi User:Beyond My Ken: The image of the urban heat island says nothing about rain. So why do you want it included? It really just shows a red/hot city. If you want to illustrate the effect of urban heat island on rain then I think a different image should be chose or at least the caption should be made clearer.

I think the section heading "changes due to global warming" should be changed to "Changes due to climate change". For the same reason why the main Wikipedia article is now called climate change and no longer "global warming". There is much more than just "warming" which is happening, there is also an intensification of the water cycle (see effects of climate change on the water cycle) etc. Also, the greenhouse gas emissions also cause ocean acidification which comes from the CO2 itself, not from the warming. So the general trend is to simply use the term climate change as it's all encompassing. See all the Wikipedia articles that now have "climate change" in their title, e.g. effects of climate change.
