Pembekuan hujan

Pembekuan hujan adalah nama yang diberikan untuk hujan yang turun ketika surface temperatures are below freezing. Unlike rain and snow mixed, ice pellets, or hail; freezing rain is made entirely of liquid droplets. The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air many hundreds of feet above the surface, and then freeze upon impact with any object they encounter. The resulting ice, called glaze, can accumulate to a thickness of several centimeters. The METAR code for freezing rain is FZRA.
