= Trace (precipitation)
{wiki=Trace_(precipitation)}
"Trace" in the context of precipitation refers to a very small amount of precipitation that is not significant enough to measure accurately with standard meteorological instruments. It generally indicates that precipitation has occurred, but the amount is less than the minimum measurable threshold, often defined as less than 0.01 inches (or 0.25 millimeters). A trace amount of precipitation can include light rain, snow, or any other form of moisture, but it typically does not accumulate to any considerable depth.
