Can anyone provide a reference for defining rainfall as light, moderate or heavy by visibility please?
In summary..... relative humidity will affect visibility in rainfall..... just think of "wet" fog and light drizzle being very similar in terms of "wetness" but vastly different in terms of visibility. There is no easy formula to calculate visibility based solely on the rainfall "density"
