= Precipitation shaft
{wiki=Precipitation_shaft}
A precipitation shaft is a meteorological term that refers to a column of precipitation that falls from a cloud. It typically describes a localized area where rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation are concentrated, often extending downward from a central part of a storm cloud. Precipitation shafts can be seen visually when rain falls intensely in a narrow band or column, and they can be associated with various types of weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms or convective systems.
