Coming straight on for you
(Steeper and deeper)
Not a lot you can do
(My angle’s askew)
[Chorus]
It’s a fact

A SCIENCE NOTE: The Reign of Violent Rain
Physics of the angle of impact from precipitation (like rain or hail):
-
Steeper angles (close to 90°, falling almost straight down):
-
Higher force per unit area because gravity acts almost directly downward.
-
Droplets or hailstones hit surfaces harder.
-
Leads to more damage, like erosion of soil, denting of cars, breaking leaves, and even bruising fruits and crops.
-
-
Shallow angles (smaller than 90°, more sideways rain):
-
Spread out over more area.
-
Less direct force per point — but wider impact.
-
Can cause sideways rain damage to walls, windows, and exposed structures that normally don’t get direct rainfall.
-
Force and damage from precipitation depends on:
-
Mass of the droplet or hailstone (bigger = more force).
-
Velocity (speed falling — increases with height and wind help).
-
Angle of impact (straighter = harder hit; sideways = spread hit).
-
Surface (hard vs soft material receiving the impact).
In physics terms, the momentum and kinetic energy of a raindrop or hailstone are key:
-
Kinetic Energy (KE) = ½ * mass * velocity²
-
The angle affects how much of that energy is transferred directly vs spread sideways.
Now: Does climate change play a role?
YES — and a big one. Climate change increases both intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation events:
-
Warmer air holds more water vapor (about 7% more per 1°C rise).
-
Stronger storms (like supercell thunderstorms, hurricanes) form more often.
-
More intense rainfall → faster, heavier, and larger raindrops and hailstones.
-
Higher wind speeds during storms → causes sharper, more damaging impact angles (not just vertical — but violent, sideways rain and hail).
Result:
-
More erosion (even from “regular” storms).
-
More flooding from heavy rainbursts.
-
More structural damage — roofs, windows, crops, soil, buildings.
-
More inland damage from hurricanes and tropical storms that carry powerful rain farther than they used to.
In short:
-
The physics of impact angles explains how rain and hail cause damage.
-
Climate change makes the rain and hail bigger, faster, and sometimes hit at worse angles, massively boosting damage.
