afternoon showers
Post-lunch precipitation
Afternoon showers are brief rain events that occur in the latter part of the day, typically caused by heat building through the morning hours.
The phrase appears constantly in weather forecasts: Expect partly cloudy skies with a chance of afternoon showers.
In tropical and subtropical climates, afternoon showers are so predictable they become part of daily rhythm—locals plan around them.
