What is is cloud burst ?
A cloudburst is an intense, sudden, and localized rainfall event where a large amount of rain falls over a small area in a very short period. It's characterized by:
*Heavy rainfall*: Often exceeding 100 mm/hour
*Short duration*: Typically lasts minutes to a few hours
*Localized*: Affects a relatively small geographical area

Cloudbursts can lead to:
Flash floods
Landslides (especially in hilly or mountainous regions)
Disruption of infrastructure and daily life

They often occur in mountainous regions like the Himalayas due to orographic lifting of moist air, leading to rapid condensation and intense precipitation.
