A wet microburst is a localized weather phenomenon characterized by a sudden and intense downdraft of rain-cooled air. This downdraft can occur during thunderstorms, leading to strong winds that spread out upon reaching the ground. The rain associated with a wet microburst can be heavy, contributing to the rapid cooling of the air and enhancing the downdraft. These events can be dangerous, especially for aviation, as they can create sudden changes in wind direction and speed. Wet microbursts are typically short-lived but can produce winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, causing damage to structures and vegetation in their path.
