How is it possible for it to rain at night?

785 views

I know it seems like an odd question but i’ve never found an answer. (or maybe just never fully understood the water cycle.)

This is what confuses me.

If evaporation occurs from the sun, and clouds begin to drop rain when they are “full,” How is it possible for it to rain in the middle of the night?
If a cloud is already full, why does it not rain til at night?
If its not full, then how is water being evaporated into the cloud at night?

Can’t forget about the effects of wind pushing clouds over hills & mountains. Heavy clouds being pushed by the wind can’t get over higher land so they drop weight in the form of rain.
