What usually causes power outages when weather conditions are not bad?

326 views

Asking this because my area literally just had a power outage while it’s drizzling rain outside. During the worst storms my area has had we somehow never lose power but during small rainfalls or even the hottest and nicest days of the summer, we lose power. Besides lines being damaged by strong winds, what usually causes power outages?

Normally it’s either animals getting on equipment and causing a short circuit or bad drivers knocking down poles.
