Have you ever seen Dry Rain? Never knew this atmospheric phenomenon is called as Virga. This happens when precipitation evaporates before it hits the ground. It is often visually striking and looks like a torn drape hanging from a cloud giving the appearance that it is raining somewhere in the distance. I read about it in a book once and have been wanting to see such phenomenon for a long time. Now Death Valley gave me that experience. Bucket List checked!
