Probability of precipitation (often abbreviated as PoP) is a meteorological term that represents the likelihood of a certain area receiving measurable precipitation (such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail) over a specified period, usually expressed as a percentage. For example, a PoP of 40% indicates that there is a 40% chance of measurable precipitation occurring in the specified location and time frame.
